Battle of the Bands event information

The Gardening Club

Thanks for registering for The Gardening Club's Battle of the Bands competition.

You now need to select a date for your band to play which you can do by going to account login & logging on using the account name & password you created when you registered. You can then select a date and time of your choice. You are able to change this anytime up to 14 days before the date you’ve chosen. After this period there is no option to change & unfortunately no refunds can be given under any circumstances.

On the day of your gig, please arrive at The Gardening Club no later than 6pm. You can find our address and location map here.

When you arrive at the club, please notify the sound engineer, who will introduce you to the club host & will then run through the order of events for you. Unfortunately we do not have the luxury of formal sound checks due to the time restraints we have to work with, so each band will perform a ‘line check’ as they set up for their slot. Our sound engineers are very used to doing this & we are very confident that you will be more than satisfied with the high quality sound that we always provide.

There is no admission charge into the club (other than if you reach the grand final), but we do ask you to make sure that all your fans carry photo-ID as the club operates a very strict over 18’s policy.
