After pub gigs in Brum?

EricTheWeary

Most of our gigs where through a one man agency who booked bands on behalf of pubs around Birmingham. Typical £350 for covers/tribute bands playing neighborhood pubs rather than regular music venues. Anyway, he has started up again and is obviously working his way through his contacts. As I no longer have a band I thought I'd ask on here if this is of use to anyone. 
If it let me know some basic details (eg band Facebook page) and I'll PM you his contact details. Never had any issues dealing with him, met him originally as a friend of a friend who helps organise Springstock which is a big charity gig. 

Cheers. 

Edit: had responses and given them the contact details. He’s not exactly a major agency so I’ll draw a line under it for now, cheers.

The line:

I'll just give this a bump in case it is of use to anyone and they missed it. After that it can sink to the bottom of The Fretboard...

@EricTheWeary I play in a 5 piece indie/rock/pop covers band based in Wolverhampton. We have played a number of weddings/parties etc but trying to get into the pub/club circuit in the west mids. We can provide all PA and lighting as required. The band Facebook is below which has a number of videos from gigs. There hasn’t been much action on the page for a while as one of the members (me!) had last year out because of cancer treatment but we are ready to go now. 

Would appreciate any help in getting some more gigs in the diary.

Just look at my phone whilst walking the dog (bad habit). I'll sort it when I'm back @mark_jwedge hope it's of some use.

Not Birmingham based, but we’re based in Swindon and always looking to expand our horizons

3 piece rock covers - we play all over the place in the Midlands. Quite a few free dates left.

5 piece rock covers based in Staffs but would love to get down into the Bham area a bit. I think we were previously in contact with your contact (pet shop owner iirc?) right before lockdown but couldn't do a gig at The Towers due to having a gig already that night.

Anyway, the FB page is https://www.facebook.com/TheVerticals.band

Yes the pet shop owner. I think his shop is in the same row as The Towers so that’s where it started. Quite a big pub. 

I’ll PM you his details.

I should probably draw a line under this now, unless anyone needs exotic pet food which I seem to remember is his day job.
