And I like Pivo`s deal too!!!!<br /><br />I`m def gonna be dealing with both venues in future!!!!!<br /><br />It`s about time that the bands are allowed to make a few quid to cover their bus fares/petrol!!! And to pay (in part) for all of the expensive equipment/rehearsal times!!!!!!<br /><br />Well done you all!!!!<br /><br />Sandie<br />Phoenix Promotions (Glasgow)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933702603737809721.post-47625062938513290302012-01-07T18:00:52.519+00:002012-01-07T18:00:52.519+00:00All the best Dochan .

Of course it's not new, it's a sensible idea, set up to try and make sure everyone involved gets the best from their gig at The Roxy. I've been putting these type of gigs for years in different places, and with the refurb at The Roxy, we're able to charge a door fee. <br />If that's how Pivo works well done, but we're not following anyones lead or trying to blaze a trail, just trying to make things fair for bands that want a good, hassle free gig experience. <br />Onwards and upwards ;)Dochannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933702603737809721.post-21599872551576897302012-01-07T15:44:03.147+00:002012-01-07T15:44:03.147+00:00In the next few months I'm going to be doing a...In the next few months I'm going to be doing a post about the ethical venues and promoters in Glasgow doing good deals Mark, and yourself and Pivo will be included.<br />I'll also be bending your ear about a few shows that could be forthcoming.<br />MainyIt's a **** thinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00053355188293146177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933702603737809721.post-63814213189460956652012-01-07T15:34:15.502+00:002012-01-07T15:34:15.502+00:00met the owner at Roxys before, he seems like a goo...met the owner at Roxys before, he seems like a good guy and Traffic Cone was considering working with him in the past since it`s the west end and not in competition with Pivo. <br />We also have the same ethics at Pivo.<br />If bands can get together, d.I.Y style and bring more than 50 through the door between them then they get full support/ advice from the pivo team, free venue hire, free sound engineer, free beer, free pizza and keep all the ticket money (should they want to charge at the door)<br />So although I dont feel this is a groundbreaking idea it`s good to see some other venues following our lead and putting the artists before profit <br /><br />Mark ,<br />traffic.cone.records@gmail.com ,<br />PivoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
