Connect Four is always looking for new artists. I include a wide range of bands, DJs and artists with a strong electronic influence on the bill for the night.
Here's how to get in touch:You can email me here or use the direct email - connect4@dsl.pipex.com or phone me on 07512 841 496. Let me know where I can hear your music and give some rough ideas of what sort of setup you have.
Some Details:Connect Four runs on the 2nd Thursday of the month, so let me know which dates would be most suitable for you. You can usually assume that if the lineup is published for an event, then the bill is probably full.
Connect Four focusses on Midlands based acts, however, we do feature artists from away, usually one per event. Unfortunately, this means that out-of-towners have to wait a little longer for a gig - but please do still get in touch, I have a list!
PaymentI want to pay artists for taking part in the night. Here's the deal - I usually spend about £60 on promotional materials and advertising (as well as the hours I spend emailing and spreading the word

). Any money taken above this is then split equally between the artists (usually four bands and a DJ). Here's the thinking behind the idea: Firstly, it means that artists from away and less established artists have a chance of getting paid, also it encourages the bands to do as much promotion as possible and bring people along.
If you have any questions or want any more details drop me a line or better still, come down to an event.
