How to book a gig?

Medium city centre venue that was once a cargo ship. Originally opened in 1982 as an entertainment venue, it was also the canvas for an early Banksy. We're the winner of numerous national awards such as NME Best Small Venue 2013 and Live Music UK award for Best Team Work. We have previously welcomed – Mumford & Sons, Frank Turner, Sia, Napalm Death, Catfish and the Bottlemen and Stormzy.

What we're looking for

Supports slots are available for some shows we have, many tours that come through the venue will have a tour support, but we do have tour managers and agents asking for local openers of all genres.

How to book a gig?

If you see a show that you think you’d be great for please email Joseph as well as - unsigned@dhpfamily.com – include a couple of your previous shows, realistically how many people you think you can bring and a link to your music or socials. Engaging and up to date social pages are always looked on favourably as well as up to date Soundcloud or Bandcamp pages.
