Plum Membership
There
are so many great bands out there - but how do you know which ones to go and
see? Which are going to be worth actually getting out there and making the
effort?
The Plum Public Membership Scheme is about encouraging people to support grass
roots music, to provide a helping hand in steering people towards great new
bands out there, to give people money off to go see those bands before they hit
the big time, to see what people out there are thinking, and hopefully provide a
community of music lovers. It's also FREE to join.
All you
have to do is fill in the form here. If you
can't make it work, don't panic, just send
nikki@plummusic.com an email. Then, you'll get an email back to let
you know you're signed up, and soon after, an email with a long list of gigs at
all three venues that you can come along to, with a friend, and get in free.
At that gig, you'll be presented with your very own Plum Membership Card -
laminated, no less.
Thereafter, you can come along to any normal Plum gig at any of the venues, and
get £1 off the door price when you show the card. You can also then get
discounted advance tickets for shows on Ticketweb, as you'll be privy to the
Plum Members Discount Code.
You'll also get a weekly newsletter, which contains full listings for all the venues, previews of bands and events coming up in the next week, competitions for tickets to shows, offers of gigs that are free to members, and invitations to showcases and secret gigs.
Recent
competitions you could have won tickets to are Rilo Kiley, The Paddingtons, The
Levellers, David McAlmont, The Ordinary Boys.
And all this is just at the moment. Work is underway on forums and other
exciting things to get you in touch with other music lovers and great bands out there,
with members only sections of this website giving you the inside scoop on the
hot new bands.
Meanwhile, check out the recently updated photo section for great new photos of
bands that have played with us.

Which gigs can I pick up my card at and use my card at?
As a rough
guide, any 'normal' 'Plum' gig. That pretty much means any regular night,
that isn't preceded by something saying "..." presents. Eg, nights that
are not Plum are Club Fandango, Club AC30, B-Movie Club, Track & Field, Global
Mix, Metalworks. If you're not sure, feel free to drop us an email to
check. If you want to pick up your card at the gig, you'll have to email
anyhow to arrange for your card to be there - your card is not kept at the
venue, since there are three venues, so it can't be all three, obviously.
