2024/08/22

Gav and James took the stage in a PACKED Elephant In The Bar Room Stage at ArcTanGent for their second live outing, only for the "curse of Johannes" to strike just as they were warming up.But it takes more than a full power outage to stop this pod.And if the show keeps growing at this rate, it might just become a "real job".We go again, every Thursday morning.

Suffering for Salvation

2 Promoters, 1 Pod ·

2024/05/30

Not all events are booked the same. Some promoters enjoy a professionally packaged tour arriving on their doorstep, others don't mind the challenge of luring over bands who rarely play and then there's Damnation, who want artists to dust off old records and perform them as a world exclusive sets in Manchester.Problem is, that's as time consuming, expensive and as difficult as it sounds. But in the end, is it worth all it? We go again, next Thursday morning. Be there.

Right? The man behind the plan, Mr James Scarlett, takes his licks and explains all... even manages t...
