YOUR GIG @ Camden EYE
📅 We can only host gig nights:
Mondays ( N/A for the time being )
Friday's & Saturdays (for these we ask for minimum two bands)
All live music must stop by 11pm (10.30pm on Mondays)
!! Due to high volume of inquiries, we are pretty much fully booked until the end of winter ‘25. Feel free to get in touch, but there are limited slots left !!
🤔 Structure?
We give you the space, if on the weekends we staff the bar, we advertise it in house and on our socials/website etc.
We don't charge a hire.
If you want to charge tickets you keep 100% of the fee but you need to let us know how you sell tickets and the cost point.
For Friday's & Saturday's we can staff the bar but we expect a minimum of 50 people coming for the event.
🎤 Equipment
So we much much much prefer bands to bring their own and see our stuff as in house back ups.
We have a basic backline (PA speakers,amps, mics, drumkit, mixer etc) but be aware that we are not techies and having your own equipment means for a smooth event.
Also please be aware we do not lend this out without a signed contact of condition you received the equipment in or without a deposit for damage or theft.
💡 Just an idea of something that works really well
If you want to make a big party of the night, we can have DJs playing till 3am on the weekends so if any of your band/group want to do a DJ set after more than welcome.
✅ Deposit
We ask for a 300 deposit to confirm any band night that is refunded straight back to the payment method assuming our T&C's aren't broken. i.e no damage and or theft to venue or back-line and if you cancel you give us at least a weeks notice.
This is sadly a non-budge for us as a venue.
Also while we allow bands to store equipment for the sake of ease, and keep the night smooth, as a venue we hold no responsibility or insurance for any damage to your personal belongings.
if you store anything you do so at your own risk, or risk of the promoter who booked you.
🎸 Styles/Genres
Due to the nature and history of Camden, plus the vibe and atmosphere of the Eye, bands that exist in the realm of rock n roll (hard rock, punk, indie, anything alternative) are preferred. That being said though, it is not a "must", so if your band strays from the path a bit but really want to try Camden, do not hesitate to get in touch.
👥 Capacity
Our max capacity for tickets is 70 people. Our max for the space is 75 so assuming 4 people in the band and 1 bartender.
⚠️ Under 18's
We are an over 18s venue after 6pm. If people in bands are under 18 you must let us know but we can accommodate, and they will have to leave the premises after their set.
