Are you sure? I tried for weeks to get Quik's first gig of 2005 on A calendar and it didn't happen....

That's why we changed the calendar system a couple of months back. Now all you have to do is submit the gig information to the calendar directly, rather than posting it on the Gig and Events forum, and it will be added as soon as a member of staff approves it.

In that case I'll take it that Drummonds is off the hook.

Please could someone confirm on the situation with The Tunnels.

If there's 3 of us doing it then that's much better than I'd been led to believe.

For what it's worth we have had posters up for gigs and the odd clubnight at:

The Lemon Tree
Drummonds
Moshulu
Kef
The Tunnels
Snafu
The Blue Lamp
Captain Toms
And various out of town places.

The only thing we'd draw the line would be one of those A3 B&W venue issued posters that advertise all their forthcoming gigs on one sheet. The reason being that it's not particularily interesting to look at, and we'd be loathe to devote our precious wall space to a dose of those. But anything with interesting artwork, and particulrily coloured, humerous posters are OK. We do also have a rule that the posters can ONLY go on the wooden walls, and must be stuck with blue tack or similar. No staple guns, chewing gum, cellotape, saliva, shit, spunk etc. AND NOT on the paintwork, and NOT in the toilets (Kenny).

I've taken down posters when they were placed on our entrance doors, it is only polite to advertise inside the building!!!

To any place that does not permit posters or flyers from other venues... what next? Taking a marker pen and putting a line through every one else's gigs in each of your copies of the GCG? LMAO!

IMO everywhere would be busier if things were more widely advertised. There are lots of people out there that only frequent one or two places, only go out on certain nights, and never look at the on-line calendars. If they saw a poster for a gig that they wanted to see, being hosted somewhere they don't normally visit, on a night they don't normally socialise... well they might just go to it!

For clubnight posters we tend to only allow the irregular or very niche ones like Fettish Night, Carnage, or Elizium for example. But we do allow any flyers regardless of the mess they make, and preferrably flyers that offer our customers a reduced admission.

Kef regularily flyers us and puts up posters. Does Kef permit other places to put posters and flyer there?

Was that the Moshulu gig in April you PM'd me about? If so then it wasn't added because it was up to Moshulu to add their own gigs to the Moshulu calendar, as was stated in the message at the top of the gigs board at the time.

I've never seen any flyers/posters in there for anywhere else but themselves. That might be partially down to the fact that it's not open during the day so people can't pop in and put up posters - but I couldn't tell you if you actually are allowed to stick up posters for other gigs in there.

[The Ghost Of Fudge]

as you go in the lemon tree door, the wall on the left is available for putting up posters for gigs in other venues... and captain toms will soon be held together by posters too, he pastes them on the roofs too...

[psydoll]

The Northern Bar lets you put posters up on the door and they have touring acts on in the lounge at weekends

[Dizzy Storm]

most of the chip shops/takeaways around town let you put posters up, just need to go in at night

[Cloud]

And the toilets across from the Tastie Tattie...

though i can't imagine a gig in there.. :|
