Posters!

Does anyone actually care about gig posters these days? Do they add value to the walls they inhabit, as a nice artistic memento of a time and place, or are they just wasteful clutter in an age of too much info?

I’m going to put some up anyway - tag your business if you would like one up in yours and also thank you HartlePower for the printing!

Hi there!

Thank you for the follows and likes - the first gig will be announced tomorrow at 6pm.

I’m trying to build a sense of community around the night so people can trust the music and the atmosphere to be good, almost regardless of what act is on. I want you to be able to trust in the new music booked here, come down and just take it in.

Promoting independent music has always been a labour of love where I don’t expect any real money from it. All I expect is that the acts and audience have all had a good, safe night, and the community walks away a little more enriched and connected.

My name is James Hewitson and I’m from and live in Hartlepool. I’ve been involved with music from a young age and I’ve been promoting gigs on and off here for 15 years, most notably bringing you the Hartlepool Live Festival in collaboration with the council in 2019. Again, thanks for following the page, and I look forward to sharing the music with you!

Here is a photo of me on my last birthday at Loppen in Copenhagen, waiting to see new-wave band Maustetyöt (Finland).
