Latest from me: the era of the £100+ gig ticket spells cultural disaster www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
The best gig I ever saw cost £4. Spiralling concert prices are a cultural disaster | John Harris
Tickets for big tours have vastly outstripped inflation, while smaller artists and venues struggle. The magic is in danger of being snuffed out entirely, says Guardian columnist John Harris

Well….what can I say? DBTR postitions itself as the anti-big concert promoter. We keep ticket prices affordable, work only with ethical grassroots venues like Claypath in Durham
(gig wall below) and most importantly all ticket sales are paid directly to the musicians #notforprofit 🎸

Mark Harrison is looming large for us- hope you like the artwork for his upcoming show with us at The Georgian Theatre in Stockton.
Your comment about Mark inspired it :-
‘A bit different and kinda groovy too’

Music travelling here in Fribourg, Switzerland. Enjoying the show as always - Got lucky - Fanfare Ciocarlia were in town on Friday, as featured in Garth Cartwright‘s masterpiece ‘Princes Amongst Men’. During the gig the singer kept nipping to the bar for vodka shots while the band were playing!

Loving the show as usual while relaxing with a strong coffee and basking in the warm glow of a great sold out show last night at Claypath in Durham featuring George Boomsma and Luke James Williams. Already looking forward to our Oct. gig with an artist you introduced us to…Marius, le faux chat 🐈‍⬛

Earlier this week I heard Brett Anderson from Suede on the radio....he had this to say and it really struck a chord with me. Please give him 40 seconds of your time. Thanks. #keepmusiclive

After hearing that track by Yoshika I’m very much in the mood for more + I see she’s playing here in the North East in October- the day after our gig featuring Le Faux Chat who you also introduced us to. You’re good at connecting folks. Thanks for the help! ⭕️
