Information for booked artists

We have a good relationship with the local press and 'Live music' websites, and their generous coverage really does help to bring in a good crowd.

We would appreciate, by email, the following to help us to publicise the gig:

A good quality photograph, preferably in JPEG form and without lots of shadow
A biography and, if possible, a short press release

In addition, please send 3 large posters to Maggie (address on contract).

Travel

Please bear in mind when planning your journey that the M25 can get very congested on Fridays, especially after 4pm. We like to set up the PA and start a sound check at about 7 - 7:30pm (depending on complexity) to ensure a great sound.

Directions and Travel

The Ram Folk Club's PA System

The Ram Club has a small but effective 12-channel PA system with phantom power that is available for use by our guest artists. This is ideal for solo, duos or small ensembles who don’t have complicated requirements! While our sound crew are competent and experienced, they are (like the rest of the people who run the club), not ‘professionals’. They always strive (and usually succeed) in producing a natural acoustic sound in keeping with the atmospherics of the club, but larger ensembles may prefer to use their own PA system and sound operatives.

Please ensure that you state your preferences at the time of the contract.

What we have:

12 channel mixer/amplifier with reverb, phantom power and stage box
Electrovoice Ev Sx100 200 Watt stage speakers and stands
Small powered Laney monitor and slave. PLEASE NOTE – WE CAN PROVIDE A SEPARATE OVERALL MONITOR MIX, BUT NOT INDIVIDUAL MIXES IN THE TWO MONITORS. As stated, the room is intimate and the stage sound good anyway
3 Behringer DI 100 + 1 twin channel Behringer stage boxes with attenuation
4 older DI boxes
6 microphone boom stands and an instrument mic stand
6 Shure SM58 microphones
2 Shure SM57 and an AKG C1000S Condenser microphones for instruments
