After a few re-writes and a lot of great input from local promoters and musicians, we have finally published our guide to putting on a DIY gig.
As we're here to help promote music in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, we recognise that having good promoters is central to a healthy music scene, so we've pulled all our resources, scratched our heads a lot and written a guide to help those who are new to gig promotion.
In the guide you should find everything you need to know about putting on a gig, split into sections to make it easier to digest. It doesn't matter if you have never put on a gig before - it can be done and you can do it, so just follow our guide, which is based on the experiences of our team and those who have gone before. By learning from our accumulated experience, you can avoid making the simple mistakes that can ruin a night and instead you can get your music promoting career off to a flying start.

We want this resource to be used far and wide for maximum benefit of the music community, so please share it around and pass it on to anyone who could benefit. We're happy to give it away for free, our gift to you!
