Oh no. We book anything from grindcore thrash metal to indie pop and punk to trip hop, ska and dub. If you're a band, or a DJ, we want to know you. We put on one to two gigs a month, focusing on one genre per night. If your band are on tour, and would like to stop by in Bristol supporting a Bristol and South-West band, get in touch.

We put shows on mainly in the Croft (Stokes Croft) in Bristol. If you are interested in getting a gig with us then send a demo to the address below and we will see what we can do. Were not in this for the money and so will try to cover petrol costs at the least and if your on tour we will do our best to arrange food and a place to stay. Please send demos and any other relative material to:- OnWings Hazelwood, Bream Road, St. Briavels, Lydney, Glos, GL156TL Open All Ears And Free All Minds Jeff - jeffrecluse_at_hotmail_dot_com Putting on a wide range of bands including Kid Carpet, Fortune Drive and Los Conios - OAEAFAM aims to provide a non-genre specific night with bands that have interesting tunes and meaningful content. The Croft Matt - http://www.the-croft.com / matt_otridge_at_hotmail_dot_com The Croft tends to hire out the majority of dates to external promoters who all specialize in different fields / certain genres. We think that this works well because it's likely that a promoter who has booked one gig a week / month is likely to be able to promote that gig better than us if we're trying to promote gigs seven nights a week. We offer the external promoters advice and extra promotion for their gigs. On the nights that haven't been hired out we put on local line ups. If you are in a band local to Bristol (sorry but this not include the surrounding areas) then please get in touch and we should be able to sort you out a gig. If you are from a band outside of Bristol then unfortunately we cannot help you, but please feel free to get in touch with any of the other external promoters who use this venue as the majority of them will book out of town bands. We feel as though this policy benefits The Croft, the bands and the promoters as no-one wants to lose money or play an empty venue.
