Apologies if this is not really the right thing for here - feel free to remove if necessary.
I have a FB friend who is coming over to London from USA end march / beginning April. He wants a gig or two, and I don't think he's TOO fussed about money, but who knows.
His name is Robbie Hilliard, and he play folky country stuff - I said I'd ask around if anyone could get him a spot anywhere.
Cheers
TT

Hi TT,
Not a problem at all to discuss this on here.
The end of March / beginning of April is next week. It is very short notice to get any kind of gig, other than a floor spot somewhere.
Here's a few suggestions....
The Betsey Trotwood - Farringdon Road
What's Cookin' - Birbeck Tavern, Leyton
Come Down & Meet The Folks - Apple Tree, Mount Pleasant
Green Note - High Street, Camden
Get a copy of Time Out magazine and look at 'live gigs...folk, roots and country' ....there's hundreds of pubs with something on.
If you had set this up a few months ago you could have got some nice gigs for Robbie, but with no advanced notice he will just have to have a go. The venues I have listed are worth contacting as they may let him do a support or something, but because I have not heard of Robbie, or heard Robbie, please do not use my name as a point of contact. Thanks.
I hope Robbie gets some gigs and enjoys his visit to London.
Shine On
Michael.

Thanks Michael. No problem with the not referencing you  I'll pass that list on, and see if I can get a copy of time out. TT |

Hi TT,
Also, try Rock'n'Reel and Maverick magazines for gig listings.
Best wishes,
Shine On
Michael.

Alas, the people who ran What's Cookin' at the Birbeck Tavern have ridden into the sunset. It's still a pub but they may no longer have live music. Shame

Thgere was a petition going to save the birbeck last year. I signed it - they seemed to have a lot of support.

I knew that Steve had left the Birbeck, but I thought What's Cookin' was continuing for a while.
