GETTING A GIG AT THE COCKPIT
We book the vast majority of our gigs through recognised agents and deal, on the whole, with signed acts only. Occasionally we have the opportunity to put an unsigned band on the bill with a signed act. If this is the case please note that we will only pick bands from the local area.
If you are in a local / unsigned band you could feature on the bill of one of The Cockpit's unsigned nights. These are predominantly run by Andy, our local and unsigned band promoter, who can be contacted on andy@thecockpit.co.uk.
Please, please do not send unsolicited demos to us. We get loads and they'll probably just end up in the bin.
Your best bet is to send Andy an email with reviews, short biog and MP3 / audio weblinks than hopefully we can organise a date.
