Mac – The Kings of Spain

I’ve been putting occasional events on at The Patrick Kavanagh in Moseley for the last few years – here’s a link to my f/b – you’ll see the type of thing. https://www.facebook.com/john.d.mcelwee

I’m looking for someone to work with me. I need someone with enthusiasm and energy to take on specific roles or just muck in and do a bit of everything: booking, publicising, artwork, moving gear, sitting on the door and taking stuff down when it’s all over.

Knowing how hard it is for bands to get even expenses I try to keep running costs to a minimum. Sound engineer is the biggest expense. I monitor who folks come to see and once exs are covered bands get 80% of door split according to how many have come in for them.

Graham (world unlimited) also helps promote http://www.worldunlimited.co.uk/events/kos.htm

So could you please put the word out. It’s best if folks interested view it as a labour of love rather than a money making opportunity.

I’ve attached details of the next gig.

Folks can contact via email, f/b or 0121 449 4362
