Musicians and Bands Wanted

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Cr0tech blog, in this edition we’re reaching out to local bands who want to be a part of The Cr0tech Hub.

We need you!

As part of Cr0tech’s desire to bring Croydon together as a community we’re keen to promote the talents of those around us. As such we’re looking for local bands / musicians that would like their music played in the coffee shop and members lounge at our new premises near Surrey Street.

What’s in it for you?

We all know Croydon is full of gifted musicians; well we want to highlight the talents of those musicians by playing their music in the coffee shop as background music.

The first and most obvious benefit for those artists is the amount of people who will hear their music on a daily basis... talk about raising your profile!

Furthermore, every band whose music gets played will also have the opportunity to sell their work to our customers and we will also include them on a flyer and other promo material such as social media and our website as part of a monthly playlist. It’s a good chance to get grass roots local exposure and begin to build your profile locally.

Who are we looking for?

We’re looking for all kinds of music from a range of individuals and bands, from Jazz to Soul, Acoustic to A Capella.

Please note that, due to the nature of our business, we can’t play music from genres such as Heavy Metal, Rock, Goth etc… sorry!

Criteria

In order for us to consider you or your band you need to fulfil a few criteria...

  • Must not be PRS registered
  • Agree that we have full permission to play your music in our premises without any royalties or money being owed to you or your band.
  • Music supplied must not contain any offensive language

THE COMMUNITY

CR0Tech is about building a sustainable tech community in Croydon. Everything we do is underpinned by our goal of positioning Croydon as a credible player on the European technology scene.

THE HUB

Our hub in Central Croydon will provide tech start-ups with a physical place they can call home. We want to offer co-working space, meeting facilities and everything else a start-up might need, at rock bottom prices.

THE EVENTS

Much of what we do will focus on planning and hosting events for the tech community, the local community and for those who are either considering or should be considering Croydon as their base.

THE COFFEE

No tech scene is complete without great coffee. Our plans include opening a coffee shop at the hub with the aim of serving the best coffee in Croydon to satisfy our community's craving for caffeine.
