Function Room

The deal

Events and gigs

We very rarely organise events ourselves at this time this might change in the future but for now if you want to play: 

the function room is available for YOU to hire and organise your own gig, There is a fee for the room which includes full backline (see below) equipment and the sound engineer. If you require a ryder for the bands this has to be arranged in advance with John so you can get bottled beers at cost price for your performers.

What you get: a full backline, a full P.A. DJ equipment, sound engineer. You basically only need to bring breakables for the drums and your guitars and keyboards. 

You set the price and You take the door money . 

Soundcheck/Load-in starts at 6pm unless a different time has been arranged in advance (that's NOT the morning of the gig or 2 hours before but at least 24 hours notice, and the more notice the better) with John and the sound engineer.

For travelling bands the equipment can be kept in the room overnight if you fear to leave it in your van.

Rehearsals

£10 an hour in the afternoon and on evenings when no events are taking place, to be arranged with John.

Promoting

You are in charge of promoting your event. 

We'll put posters up in the pub and make flyers available (provided you send them to us in time to do that... sounds logical but apparently it is not so for everybody) we'll also help by posting it on Last fm as well as a few other sites on the internet, do not forget to email us your poster (jpg, png, gif, etc... but NOT PDF) for web uploads. A description of the evening/what the bands do is always a bonus as well.

For more info and tips on promoting your night: read this.

 DISCLAIMER: FOOD

You are welcome to bring (by prior arrangement with the management) food for the artists/performers and guests of your event but note that all responsabilities in this regard lies solely with you and not The Grosvenor.
