We have rarely used a promoter,if a band is coming from say Glasgow to play with us etc its cause we invited them and we will promote and run it ourselfs.
That way we have all the equipment sorted already.
We just book the venues and run the night ourselfs charging at the door what we think is fair to cover costs etc.
The venues are happy enough cause we bring a crowd and they can make a bit off the bar.
