Great news for all bands in Glasgow and surrounding areas from the 14^th December 2009 Rockers and Hourglass Promotions are pleased to announce that all shows Sunday to Thursday at the venue will FREE entry unless otherwise stated (Otherwise stated shows will big band shows and will be advertised with entry fee )

So bands looking for a VENUE ( not a pub show) to play with excellent backline have to look no further.

What we offer bands is the following:....

NO ticket sales unless it is a big band show.

All band will get paid on the number they bring to the venue from a % of the bar takings.

% of Bar Takens....

This will be split on the number of fans each band brings to the venue fairly. The more fans you bring the more of the split you will receive.

Bands with a handful of fans will not be allowed to play as this is not fair on the other bands bringing 10 fans or more.

What we expect from Bands:....

They advertise their show

The bring friends and fans to the show.

They send in posters to advertise they are playing the venue

This is a fair deal on all bands and will bring out the hard working bands that is willing to give that little more to gain more.

We have dates added to our calendar and also a load of dates not on the calendar please ask and we will be happy to give you a show  at the venue. All shows will be 18+ ID will be required  as we operate a challenge 25 system in the venue.....

All bands have to 18+ to play the venue.

As from monday the 14th December 2009 all bands playing the venue will not be required to do the following

Sell Tickets
Their fans won't have to pay entrance fee ( unless stated for bigger shows )

Bands will receive a percentage of the bar = how many folk they have to see them through the door on the night = the percent of the bar they obtain.

More folk through to see your bar the bigger split you will receive

All shows are 18+

All band members will have to be 18+

All bands are required to bring (Drummer Snare, Pedals and Cymbals )


All the best

Over the last few months we have been putting on shows and most bands do their bit and make a good bit from their pre sales of tickets. But then you have some bands that are not interested in doing anything turn up envelope still sealed and no one there to see them play.

We are non pay to play but we are not mugs either we would love to turn up at venues and set up and play and go with not a thank you or anything. We have flyers posters to pay for along with venue hire so when you are having a good time on stage and thinking this is fun and great playing our songs and go and not watch the other bands whos fans they have just played too.

We have been thinking about this and from Monday 13^th July we will be enforcing a new policy that if bands don’t think they will be able to do their bit then they should not apply. As if bands turn up on the night at a venue and waste our time we will turn them away as it is costing us money and with the current financial climate we will be watching what we are doing with shows.

If you don’t think you can do any of this please dont apply for a show as it helps all bands to play in front of a crowd instead of a empty room.

All shows at Images Lanark are cancelled due to the Venue not wanting to put on Live shows anymore we can only say sorry to all the bands this effects. This is out of our hands and down to the venue management.

Real Promotion For Real bands.......We can do all the promotion for the shows as most  bands do help out with doing their bit also. Been offered a gig or asking for a gig dosent mean you say yes or we say yes.  It means that when the work begins.

We promote the show around the town, press andwhen we can get radio also ....Most bands seem to do this but there are some that turn up with no one there to see them at all.

But they play their show have their drinks rider and think that was a good gig. What do they get out of that? What do the other bands get out of it that are playing on the same bill.

I think the answer is free drinks and a free practice. the rest of the bill get to watch their set and get ready to play their own in front of the other bands fans.

If bands dont do their wee bit as well a us doing ours you will find the beer riders etc and decent gigs will not happen as it costs us for promotion flyers, posters etc and also venue hire.

We feel that if you cant  give your wee bit of time then maybe you would be better playing a show at a smaller venue that has not got the same overheads with promotion and venue hire as we do.

Before you ok a show be sure that all members of the band can make the show. that you will do your weebit in not booking too many shows around it to obtain a decent sized crowd. We will give you a great night of music and promotion forshow in return ....

If you are not sure about the promotion we do as you have heard all about promoters doing this and that in the past ask any of the bands that have played under HourGlass Promotions and they will tell you that you get none of the Bull Shit that you usually get from other places.

If you want a show get in touch
