    Go to clubs/club nights you’re interested in, get there early on the night and mingle with the promoters, DJs, managers etc. Have some demo’s ready to hand out and ask for sets.

    Steelo’s right, you need to do exactly what you did before: “I was always talking to the barstaff/manager/pr manager…” – find a way to get to town 5 nights a week and get on with it.

    Hows it goin buddy, theres a group of promotors called ‘Mess’d Up Records’ who put on a load of gigs in town (Dublin) and are always asking for people to send in mixes, lookin for local talent etc. You’d find them of Facebook or watever i’m sure, few of my mates have played for them and they’re always on the lookout for Dj’s, warm-up spots or watever. Mainly Techno i think, not sure wat style you play, but sure bang them in a mix and see wat happens?
    Best of luck

    Failing that, totally agree with the lads here, get into the nites with a mix or 2 in your pocket and talk to Dj’s, promotors, whoever, my gigging days are behind me now but got a few spots in town by just drunkenly approaching lads with a cd or watever 🙂

    Oooooh this is very very very helpful!! I tried getting in contact with a few promoters in Dublin, but they haven’t been helpful at all. I did manage to get a contact yesterday; a friend of a friend, but, he works in PR and said he knows a lot of the guys that do big student nights. I said I’d sort him out with a demo CD, but he said by the sounds of it, I’d be suited to one of the alt student nights, like Button Factory or ALT. Sounds good to me, it’s the kind of gigs I like.

    Cheers for the help though, if something comes up, I’ll let you know.
