Our key achievements include Supporting Emerging Artists: We provided opportunities for emerging artists and bands who lacked agency representation, helping them book shows and gain exposure. In addition, we promoted them on our social platforms, all at no cost to them. Facilitating International Tours: Established bands had the chance to perform in Europe and the UK for the first time in their careers under fair conditions and without financial risk. Our long-term partnerships with bands have grown stronger, allowing us to secure them spots at larger festivals and higher-profile shows. Ensuring Safe and Smooth Touring: We offered consultation on travel logistics, helping bands secure accommodation, rental gear, and transportation. We also provided ongoing support during tours, assisting in emergencies such as vehicle breakdowns, accidents, and fines (including direct contact with insurance providers). Affordable Transport Solutions: Bands using our van and driver services continued to benefit from discounted rental rates, maintaining the same favourable terms as in 2022/2023.- Merchandise Support: Artists and bands seeking merchandise production for their tours or individual shows received assistance in organising these services. Those opting for screen printing through us benefited from discounted wholesale pricing. Fair Opportunities for Tour Drivers: We successfully connected bands with drivers from various countries, ensuring fair working conditions and agreements. Strengthening Business Partnerships: We expanded our collaborations with local businesses in the UK, Czech Republic, France, and Germany, helping them grow through merchandise deals and gear/van rental opportunities. Moving forward, we aim to further develop these initiatives, support more artists, and continue making touring a sustainable and rewarding experience for the underground music scene, local businesses in the UK, Czech Republic, France, and Germany, helping them grow through merchandise deals and gear/van rental opportunities.
