Default Bristol alt folkies touring - can anyone host a house gig?

Hi

We’re three Bristol songwriters, all with new albums, squeezing into an undersized car to tour some of the UK from mid-October to early Nov.

We need gigs – and hoping some people out there might help… We want to bypass typical gig venues with hairy security and stale peanuts and instead play house concerts wherever possible.

We’ve done this kind of thing before and it’s been really fun and generally not very hard for the person hosting to arrange. We’re all acoustic musicians who don’t necessarily need a PA or a rider with 10 bottles of Jack Daniels. A room and some chairs will do. We’re just nice people with good songs and a thirst to play for new audiences.

A press release with more info is here: http://tiny.cc/sleepinghorse

Please drop us a line with any ideas. Will also play other spaces like cafes, shops, galleries etc. and will help with promotion in any way we can. (Any musicians interested in helping – we could put you on in Bristol sometime in exchange.)
