I've just started playing London shows noticing a pattern of Camden, Islington etc... with promoters. If someone promoted a show with a semi-established band people still (probably) wouldn't be interested as the area/venue has earnt a stigma with its cover bands. I think you are bang on about the idea of a Luminaire type venue, it'd need to be a competing place to the Black Horse in order to gain a promotion angle of 'We don't put on cover bands like they do'. Wish I had the funds to help! This is such an interesting post. I’ve just started playing London shows noticing a pattern of Camden, Islington etc… with promoters.

Maybe it’s your calling! “Book them and they will come…”

WHY is this? I am a very enthusiastic appreciative lover of good music, and have noticed either the good music is going on 'underground',unannounced, in secret in the northeast London area, or ..what? Is it possibly a Cultural thing?methinks this may be it. As I am an objective observer of the environmental traffic, and notice that most of the business owners/landlords/commuters are predominantly from other parts of Europe?,and so having a local gig, would need to be in some other european theme to attract the locals? .I am not sure if this comment will get sent, let alone read by anyone. The only live gig pub I know of around these parts is the Plough Inn, altho' I have never been that attracted to it, as it seems to be chockers with blokes mostly, ..or empty. hope to hear back. Oh dear, dont really want to be shlepping out to Hackney and Islington late at nite anymore, but maybe ..have to HI – SO sad So sad, no good live music gigs in Walthamstow, South Woodford, Wanstead, Leytonstone, eeeeeek ?

Perhaps you should both team up and put a one-off night on and see what happens? It seems like there's a genuine desire for music there! The location couldn't be better: to be 20 mins from central London is the envy of the European music world. Good luck! Joe</B> Thanks for your comments!

It would be a huge shame because as you say its 20 minutes from central London and a 30 second walk from the tube. Perfect local venue. The people who run The Standard say they struggle to convince bands to come out "all the way" to E17 (or rather they struggle to convince their managers). I keep thinking about trying to setup a night at the Standard, but with no experience it scares the bejezuz out of me. Maybe I should try a one off and see how it goes.

I've even wondered whether Boy Kill Boy played any gigs in the area seeing as they were from Leytonstone but I suspect they just played the regular London venues. I have a feeling that Stratford might end up having a proper venue in the next few years, which would be good. In the meantime, maybe you should start putting bands on at The Standard! -saamFG Seeing as I’m from the same area, I’ve also regularly pondered this.
