What is ‘Seed Music’? 🌱🐽 Seed Music is the step before grassroots and refers to DJs, bands and soloists playing music in hospitality venues. 🎶 Our industry-first Live Music Index defined 'Seed Music', which shone a light on an often unreported sector but is the bedrock of the UK’s cultural scene. ✨ Venues that regularly host live music can benefit from an increase in atmosphere and customer satisfaction while seeing a boost in their revenue and football. 📈 It’s no surprise to see that 87% of venues are planning to increase their live music offering in the next 12 months. 🎸 Ready to bring the power of live music to your venue? Reach out to our team below and start booking through GigPig today! 👇 https://soamp.li/m3QY.

We’re excited to share our October milestones and celebrate what we’ve achieved together by making your live music booking easy and seamless through GigPig. 🐽🎶 This month, we welcomed a wave of new venues onto the platform while continuing to power quality live music for the venues that already work with us. 🎧🎸 October was a big month of growth for GigPig, and without the talented artists on our platform looking to increase their autonomy in the hospitality sector, and the venues who use our platform to streamline their booking process, it wouldn’t have been possible. ✨ As we gear up for the holiday season, we’re excited to keep up this momentum and help you set the stage for an unforgettable festive atmosphere. Make sure to book early with GigPig to lock in your perfect artist and make this holiday season one to remember! 🎄 Get in touch with the team to get your live music booked in: https://soamp.li/m3ug

#LastNightOut Campaign Since March 2020, we've lost 37% of the UK’s nightclubs. That’s 3 every week and over 150 every year. If this trend continues, by December 31, 2029, we could witness The Last Night Out. That is why we support the #TheLastNightOut campaign by the NTIA, which calls for urgent government action to save our nightlife. Nightclubs are the bedrock of our industry, and we can’t risk losing that vital part of the sector that drives local economies and the heartbeat of communities. We’re proud to join the NTIA’s call for urgent government action to: 🔸Provide Sustained Financial Support 🔸Grant Cultural Protection 🔸Reform Policies & Regulations Without intervention, 31.12.29 could be The Last Night Out. Sign the petition below to show your support for this campaign. ✍️👇 https://soamp.li/m38A.
