INFO FOR BANDS

If you would like to play at The Good Ship then read on... In the past we have had the likes of Duran Duran, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, The Beatles (twice), Elvis (Costello and Presley), Bananarama and Joy Division take to our stage. Blah blah blah blah blah, who cares? We are more interested in the bands below who have played here this year and moved us greatly, I would check them out if I were you.

We put on all types of music here and we try to be as all encompassing as possible but it'd be insincere of us to put on a night of music we did not like so please do not be too offended if your stuff really is not our cup of tea. We love world music, folk, massively outside the box sounds, post punk, shoegaze and generally well considered stuff. There again every now and then you just want to hear The Ramones. We will definitely have a good listen.

So, if you think your band could fit the bill and would benefit from playing our 220 capacity venue, we'd love to hear from you. We're most interested in what you sound like and we will absolutely put bands on bills that are as complimentary as is possible. We do not make you sell tickets, charge you to play or employ any of the other tricks that much of London's gig circuit does in order to fleece musicians. Instead we employ promoters will pay you 100% of the door takings after minimal costs, all we ask is that you will work as hard as us in terms of promoting the gig.

So, if you are interested in playing email John on [email protected] and Lewi on [email protected]. It is a good idea to email all of us actually, 2 heads are quicker than one or something like that. We aim to be super speedy in replying so feel free to chase up if we have not been.

Or if you are a band or an outside promoter interested in venue hire please email John. None of those crap "management companies", battle of the band merchants, or any other of those spivs who exploit new bands, we can spot those a mile off.
