Hey,
Some of you may have been wondering why we haven’t booked any gigs over the last couple of months. Many of you have given us venues to check out and some have even gone as far as stating you would be more than happy to ask the venues for us. We really appreciate this enthusiasm.
With this in mind we had a brain storming session (it hurt but we got through it) and came up with the idea of getting you to book gigs for us. We’re not expecting you to book Wembley Stadium or the Albert Hall, all we ask is for a venue big enough to rock out in, like a small pub or club. In fact we’ll even come and play in your living room if that’s what you want from us.
I can imagine you’re thinking to yourself “so what’s the catch?” – well …….. we’re not in the position to play for free but for a small fee of £250 plus some travelling expenses, we will be at the place of your choice and you will have one of the most memorable experiences of your life. This may seem daunting but if you think about it, you only need to get 50 people to come at £5 a head to cover your basic costs instantly and the more people you get the cheaper it will be.
How you put on your gig is up to you. If you want to book other bands that’s fine or if you choose to charge an entry fee then anything you make is yours. We will not ask for a cut of the door. All we ask is that the gig is an open event, that we’re allowed to sell our merchandise, for you to send us information on the venue, the date you would like us to play and the fee of £250.
Once the venue has been chosen we will help to promote the gig. We can supply you with posters and flyers (if needed) and post all the information on our sites. For those who might want to book us in another country could you contact us first please? We would have to come to a different arrangement due to the costs of travelling and transporting our gear
For those wanting to book private gigs, please contact us to discuss what we can do.
Blue Gillespie would like to send out a big thank you to everyone who has supported us so far. If it wasn’t for you, all our efforts would be in vain.
Thank you.

Jeez! I am totally speechless…you guys would play for me even in my room with such a small money? wow… it sounds a perfect dream for me. really, wow!
I really really want you to come and play here, in Japan, if I would have enough money! (yep, I sadly know that you know travelling expenses definitely cost more than 250 pounds!!)
Anyway, I think it is a great offer to your fans and I believe it makes you have gigs more often which might give more oppotunities to go to your gig to me and other your fans.
(I really miss your gig!! listening to cds is great but can’t compere with going and feeling and joining gig with many ppl who can share passion…)
Hope I can go to your gig soon!! xx

Man, I wish I had enough money to bring you guys to Oregon. If I win the lottery, expect to hear from me.
