Live nights

Nights we put
on ourselves.

Most of what we do is built for someone else. These are the nights we programme, produce, film and market ourselves, and where we carry the risk instead of invoicing it. From a room of sixty to a festival ground, venues host them and cities take turns.

How they work

We carry it,
end to end.

A promoter books an artist. We build the whole evening and stand behind it, which is a different amount of work and a different amount of risk.

We programme it

The line up, the running order and the shape of the evening, rather than whoever is available that week.

We produce it

Stage, sound, light, crew and the run of show, using the same technical build we do for clients.

We market it

The film, the content and the campaign, made in house rather than handed to an agency.

We carry the risk

Ours to fill and ours to lose. Venues host them and take the room, which is why they say yes.

The range

Sixty in a room,
or a festival ground.

The size changes, the method does not. Our founder programmes and runs multi city national festivals that draw audiences in the hundreds of thousands, and the same discipline builds a room of sixty on a Tuesday. Both need a line up, a run of show, and someone who has done it before.

At festival scale

Multi city programming, artists brought in from abroad, permissions and licences, and a technical build that has to hold up on open ground rather than in a hall.

At room scale

Members and regulars seated first, capacity told honestly, and a waitlist instead of a door full of people who were all told yes.

Same system underneath

Registration, capacity and QR at the door run on our own ticketing, whether it is sixty people or sixty thousand.

Proof

Squid Night.

Bands, comedians and DJs on one bill, and a room that stayed until the lights came on. Programmed, produced, shot and marketed by us, start to finish.

Have a room?

If you run a venue and want nights in it that you do not have to programme yourself, that is the conversation.
