What we promise

Four things, every date.

Agents deal with a lot of promoters who are casual about this. We are not, and the reason our international bookings come back is that none of the four ever slipped.

01

Fees paid on time

Every fee, every date, since 2021. Deposits on contract, balance on the night.

02

Riders honoured

Whatever is in the rider is in the room. If we cannot meet something we say so before you sign.

03

Travel and visas handled

Flights, ground, accommodation, and the paperwork for anyone coming into Canada.

04

A real crowd

We market properly. You are not playing to forty people because nobody knew it was on.

Submissions

Send us something to listen to.

A link to recent sets is worth more than a biography. If you already have dates in the region, tell us — routing is usually what makes a booking work.

We listen to everything and reply where there is a realistic date. That is not most of them, and we would rather say so than go quiet.
