Upcoming RB Music bits

27th June - Kite Thief/Reawaken/Elby/Benchy and The Gazers/Domesday at Proteus Creation Space

After that - I potentially have the summer off - THOUGH if anyone wants any fun things booking - I'm up for helping.

Then just like "that" it's September. Where at the moment we have THREE shows in the planning.

First one - 02.09 = We're doing one of unplugged shows. No PA. No Mics. Couple of touring acts on that one already. So looking for some new faces/People who want to test themselves (as not having a mic.. can be daunting for some)

Second one - Looking for indie/punkish types. Headliner will be announced soon. (05.09)

3rd - Listen Up - Free fest in Basingstoke.. 26.09 at present I've got 1 sloton the full band stage (opening - perfect for a first show for a band)and about 6 slots on the acoustic. Looking for new acts again... but may do repeats.. may. (the band slots are earlier ones - headliner is fun)

So yeah - talk to us. Let's chat. Tell people these shows are happening.. we've got a cool venue and cool things going on.. (and more people to know that Basingstoke is in fact.. not dead)
