Right, I was wondering if someone could give me a hand with this.

Basically, I want to put on a bands night type thing for a few bands that are local to me, preferably at the Tunnels, to give some of them a chance to play in Aberdeen. If I managed to get, say, 5 bands, then what would I do next? Obviously I'd have to contact the venue itself, but how long would I get it for? How much would it cost me? etc.

I would greatly appreciate any kind of feedback.

Out of interest, why preferably The Tunnels?

Anyway, you're looking at a venue hire of at least £50 at The Tunnels. That comes with a sound engineer - so it's a good deal in a sense, although Drummonds is cheaper (free!). Depending if there's a club night on afterwards, you're looking at getting the venue for at least 5 hours (inclusive of time to soundcheck) and possibly 9 - from roughly 6pm till 11pm/2am/3am.

Be wary that The Tunnels doesn't tend to attract much passing trade.

Give them a call and see what they say
