What this is actually for

Music happens in rooms like these.

Not arenas, not festivals. The corner pub with a stage the size of a kitchen table, where the landlord books the band themselves and everybody in the room knows somebody in it.

  • A small music pub on a wet side street at dusk, light spilling onto the pavement
    Tuesday, half seven.Somebody’s local.
  • Soundcheck in an empty venue, a drummer mid-fill and an engineer at the stage edge
    Soundcheck.The unglamorous half of a gig.
  • A small crowd at a gig, faces lit from the stage, one person singing along
    Forty people, one chorus.The reason any of this matters.
  • A venue manager and a musician talking at the bar after load-in
    “Same night next month?”A handshake, then a date in two diaries.
The problem

One night, agreed in six places.

A gig gets booked across a text, a phone call, an email and someone’s memory. Then the act cancels, and nobody can find what was agreed.

Both sides are looking at this. Neither of you has to remember it.

How it works

Three steps, and the night is settled.

  1. Find the act

    IndieFolkSoul
    The Midnight EchoIndie / Rock · 4-piece · Belfast
    Harbour BoysFolk / Trad · 3-piece · Belfast

    Search by what they play, where they are and what night you need. Every act has photographs, a fee range and the nights they have already taken.

  2. Send the request

    Date
    Friday, 11 September
    Fee
    £450

    Date, times, fee. One form with the terms already in it, so the act is answering a question rather than opening a negotiation.

  3. Get a real answer

    WaitingConfirmedDeclined

    Waiting, confirmed or declined — never ambiguous, and never only a colour. A decline is not a failure, it is an answer, and it frees the date immediately.

Your month

Every gig, where you’d expect it.

Confirmed nights, requests still waiting, and the dates nobody has claimed yet. One month, one page — and the act is looking at the same night you are.

An overnight gig sits on both of the days it touches. Ends 01:00 on Saturday, 12 September — overnight, Europe/London.

September 2026

2 confirmed · 2 waiting

An example month: two confirmed gigs, two requests waiting on an answer, and two nights still open.

When it goes wrong

It’s six o’clock. Your act just cancelled.

This is the night GigHub was built for. Ask every act who could make it tonight in one action and take the first yes, instead of working down a list of numbers while the doors open.

Two sides, one booking

Pick the side you’re on.

One login is one venue or one act — so the whole product knows who you are, and nothing ever asks you to switch hats.

Before you sign up

The questions everybody asks.

Is it free?
Free while we’re in beta, for venues and for acts. GigHub never touches the money — the fee is agreed here and paid the way you already pay it.
Do acts need an account to be booked?
Yes. A booking has two sides and both need to see it and change it. Signing up is a name, an email, and what you play or where you are.
Can I still use my own contract?
GigHub records the date, the times and the fee you both agreed to. Anything else you normally send still goes out exactly the way it always did.
What happens when a gig is cancelled?
It stays. A cancelled booking is history, not an error — it keeps its date and the day it was cancelled, so nobody has to relitigate it six months later.
Is my calendar private?
Your calendar is yours. An act sees the dates you have asked them about, never the rest of your month.
I run two rooms — one account or two?
Two. One login is one venue or one act, on purpose, so every booking is unambiguous about which room it belongs to.
Get started

Nothing booked. The room is free.

Set up your venue or your act in about two minutes, and put the next night somewhere you can both see it.
