about the talent scout

Saturday 6 Sep 2008

The Talent Scout deals with all genres of music and we are always keen to hear demo’s from unsigned bands/artists within the U.K.

If you would like to be considered for a gig at Storm, please send a demo to:

The Talent Scout
PO Box 10349
London
NW1 9WJ

Alternatively, if you have a website or material featured on a website, just send us the link via email and we can listen online.
info@thetalentscout.co.uk

As soon as we have listened to your material, we will send you an email offering you a gig at one of our events, whichever we feel you are most musically suited to! (See Venue and Events page for more info).

For all gigs at Storm, The Talent Scout supplies full backline for all bands to use – free of charge. Not only does this ensure smooth “changeovers” and a great sound for every performance, it also eliminates the unnecessary pressure of transport and parking for a West End gig.

Here’s what we supply:

Drums: 1 x Pearl Export Kit & Hardware
  1 x 22” kick drum
  1 x 12” rack tom
  1 x 14” rack tom
  1 x 16” floor tom
  1 x Pearl hi hat stand
  1 x Pearl snare stand
  4 x boom, cymbal stands
  1 x stool
  Drummers only need bring their own cymbals, snare drum & kick pedal
   
Bass: Hartke Bass System
  1 x Hartke 350w head
  1 x Hartke 4 x 10 cab
   
Guitar 1: Marshall
  1 x Marshall JCM 900 head
  1 x Marshall 4 x 12 cab
   
Guitar 2: Marshall
  1 x Marshall JCM 600 head
  1 x Marshall 4x12 cab

All of our backline is in top condition and well maintained so you do not need to fear using sub-standard gear!

Our sound engineer Simon is able to offer you a digital, CD quality, multitrack recording of your set.  He individually mic's up each instrument and records it to a seperate track. This allows you to mix the set yourself, after the gig, in the comfort of your own home! All you need is a computer - Simon will give you a link for a free softare download if you don't have Cubase/Logic or something similar.

You can hear some of his recordings from Storm on his website.

Storm is a 350 capacity, quality, West End venue and The Talent Scout takes pride in ensuring each band/artist gets the very best results from their performance at Storm – enhanced by our hands on crew, 1st class sound engineers and equipment.

Any band or artist that has already performed within the “London unsigned circuit” will be aware that promoters expect them to be able to generate a good sized audience – unfortunately, we are no exception!

Audience requirements differ with each event/day of the week with the maximum being 50. This will all be outlined when we email you a gig offer.

If you accept a gig with us, we will post you a full, promotional package to help you promote your gig at no cost to yourselves.

If you have any questions about gigging with us, please email us and we will answer your query as soon as we can.
