How to get a gig

Artist bookings are dealt with by email only. If you’d like to play, please email us at [email protected] with details about your music, plus links to your website, soundcloud etc, where we can listen to your music. It’s also helpful if you tell us a bit of your gigging history and if you have any youtube clips or similar, please include these too as it helps give us an idea of your live sound. Please DO NOT send MP3s or other large attachments.

We no longer accept physical demos (CDs/ press packs etc.) so please don't send anything by post unless requested.

If you’ve sent an email and we have a slot for you, we will contact you. However, this could take a while, as we receive many emails every day from both musicians and agents/promoters requesting concerts. Please do not phone to ask whether we have received your email – all bookings are dealt with by email only. If haven’t heard back from us and are worried we may not have received your email, you may wish to re-send it, but we would recommend waiting at least 3 months before doing so.

If we require further information or wish to discuss a booking we will be in touch. Due to the sheer volume of emails we receive, it is unfortunately not possible for us to respond personally to everyone who contacts us.

Thank you for your understanding.

Our Music Policy

Basically, we book music that we like! In general this tends to fit into the genres of Folk, Blues, Jazz, World, Country, Americana, Bluegrass and Singer-songwriters. We also choose acts that we know work well in our space. If you are a metal/rock/hip hop band, chances are your music isn’t right for Green Note. It’s nothing personal, but we tend to stick to music that we know and love.

Open mic

We run two monthly open mics – one evening and one matinée event. These are usually held on the last Tuesday (evening) and the third Sunday (afternoon) of the month (with a few exceptions – see events listings to confirm). If you’d like to perform at our open mic we’d love to see you, and we’re sure you’ll leave the night with new friends and contacts!

All performers must pre-book a slot online, and on the night please arrive by 7.15pm (Tues evening open mic) and by 1.15pm (Sun matinee open mic) to confirm your place. Tickets must be pre-booked.

Tickets are FREE for performers (but must be pre-booked) and £3 for audience members (pre-booking also recommended).

2 songs per artist. We have a full PA system and an in house keyboard but no backline, so bring whatever you need. Unfortunately we are not able to accommodate backing tracks

More info & dates can be found at this link: https://www.greennote.co.uk/production/open-mic-hosted-by-rob-thom/

If you're already booked to play

Note to drummers: Sticks are ALWAYS too loud at Green Note. Please make sure that you bring either hot rods or brushes to play with. Thanks.

Audio & Video Recording

We offer facilities to have your performance at Green Note recorded and/or filmed in High Definition so that you can mix the audio stems to create live tracks and music videos. Up to 14 tracks individually recorded from the mixing desk plus feeds from stereo mics mounted above the audience to capture that ‘live’ feeling. Video is filmed in 1080p from fixed wall-mounted cameras and the raw files are transferred after the gig. For mixed/edited footage, arrangements can be made with our go-to video editor for additional fees.

See www.outlandishaudio.com/GREENNOTE for more detail and examples of previous projects.

As of 2021 we now have Live streaming capabilities from Green Note! Why not consider streaming your concert and selling tickets to the online show? It’s great value, as it’s not much more than the multi-cam recording package, you get a copy of the live edited/mixed video as well as the raw files (with no need for post production), and online tickets sold help cover the cost.
