OUR ARTIST SERVICES
SCOUT FOR / BOOK ARTISTS
We scout our artists by attending local, grassroots events across Manchester, by actively engaging with social media and through word of mouth from industry contacts.
HIRE / LIAISE WITH VENUES
We book suitably sized venues for our collaborators, based on their existing audience in Manchester, and the potential yet reasonable capacity they could attract. We respect honesty and realism when it comes to discussing venue choices, as we all know it's always better to have a compact space, rather than an empty one.
ORGANISE EVENT LOGISTICS
We communicate and organise all of the event logistics including the organisation of set times, distribution of tickets and gathering information for tech specs to send over to the sound engineers.
TICKETING
NEW PRISM usually distributes all event tickets through Fatsoma. Ticket prices can vary depending on the artist and their experience, as well as the venue and how advanced the chosen space is. We consider selling tickets in tiers depending on the type of show, for example, early bird and discounted, otherwise they go at a set price and then of a bit more expense on the doors.
PROMOTE AND MARKET
We take it upon ourselves to invest a large amount of time and effort into the promotion of all our events, however, we do believe that the artists also have to play their part ( after all the crowd is coming to see you ! )
RUN SHOW ON SHOW DAYS
On show days I (Sophie Pearson) am always on site from load in - load out, and I will also have somebody with me, as an extra pair of hands to help ensure the show runs as smoothly as possible and the audience is welcomed.
PHOTOGRAPHY
NEW PRISM controls and offers professional photography to all artists involved, as a thank you for your participation, and this is usually done by myself (Sophie Pearson) or Megan Wood.
STAY IN TOUCH
We value our artists and we participate in maintaining a long-lasting relationship, therefore, there is the potential we will welcome you back with open arms to be booked onto more future shows :)

Keep in touch.
