To enhance the coverage
we give to our customers, our website has been developed and is a popular hit
for the search engines.
Our information is used by the best local and
national information, entertainment, media and internet sites, Our gigs are also
available to WAP phone users e.g Ents24.com.
In 1981 our first Gig Guide
represented only 12 Venues in the Folkestone and Dover area. Since then we have
been pleased to have promoted 100's of venues in Kent and E. Sussex and the
1000's of different acts performing there, from the local singalong piano
player to internationally famous acts on tour.
We collate information
on a weekly basis for participating venues and bands, then distribute it to the
media services in time to meet their deadlines for publication.
We also supply around 3800 other interested parties by newsletter
weekly.
Some
landlords are wondering where their old and valued customers have gone. One probable
answer is, they are at home watching television or at a venue they know has a
good act on. Now, more than ever, all venues need to promote their events and
reduce their advertising budget. - We can do that for you, and save you time.
Your potential customers read, listen to or browse our Gig Guides and head
for the events promoted there. If entertainment is a part of your business and
turnover, this is where we can help. - We tell them where you are and what’s
on when.
We know that you cannot afford to advertise in the newspapers
every week and provide entertainment free of charge if you are not making a reasonable
profit. If we can find you just one more customer, you can afford to use our services.
With more than 1,000,000 readers and listeners each week we know we can do that
many times over. Get started this week, fill in our registration form and get
it in the post.
If you advertise in the newspaper, ask for your advert
to be placed next to our Gig Guide. "Why?" you may ask. The truth of
the matter is, who in their right mind is going to search through all of the local
papers for your advert, when everyone knows the best place to look for local music
information is in our Gig Guide information supplied to and used by all of the
best leisure pages and linked to and from all of the best websites.
If
your local newspaper does not publish our Gig Guide then ask them "why not?''
we probably supply them. We feel that people have a right to know "Wotson"
locally and thankfully so do most newspaper editors. Our charges for promoting
your events are small, and the results are obvious to those venues who have used
our services for the past 29 years.

MusicBiz
The History of Kent Bands and Musicians
|
This section of Kentgigs.com is called "Kent MusicBiz" and is dedicated
to the people in South East Kent who helped form the live music scene as it is
today. Good or bad, we share some odd facts and figures, puff ourselves up and
bring ourselves down. Some of us have been "at it" since the 50's
and some are babies.
The heroes we remember are not just those who "made
it" but those who entertained us. "Every pop star is someone's next
door neighbour". Local band is not a dirty word here.
Some of us want
to share a few experiences with those on the scene now that are unlucky enough
to be "too young" to have shared the best years of live music in Kent.
Alright, you can argue about that if you like, but browse through the project
and see what's been happening. As the project grows it will cover 50 years
of Music in Kent because the motivators are still there, driving it.
We want your input, if you can show a link to the people, gigs, venues, recordings
etc. already on Kent MusicBiz you can join in sooner, email your stories pictures
and links to the Kent MusicBiz Project. Do you know any old Muso's that would
like to tell their story?
Please be patient if your submitted an article,
CV, photo or whatever and its is not live yet. The construction will concentrate
on the oldest information first, it's a monster of a story and is under permanent
construction.
Current bands and new venues, should go to www.kentgigs.com
and request a link there. We hope you feel you are a part of the future not the
past.
