About Sparklemotion

 

Sparklemotion is a DIY indiepop gig promoter in Sheffield, UK. The main person doing stuff is me, Pete Green, and I get by with a little help from my friends Mr Mark Shepherd and Mr Jonathan Holmes.

I was fairly determined I was never going to do this, because I had enough on my plate already being a recording and performing singer-songwriter and everything. When I wanted a band to get a gig in Sheffield I just used to ask my friend Cara who does Daisydaisy to put them on. But by late 2007 I was falling in love with too many new bands so I had to start putting them on myself!

If you're into the new indiepop underground then you'll love the bands who play Sparklemotion popshows. If you've never heard of the new indiepop underground then you'll probably still love them because they're all fantastic. Have a look at our forthcoming gigs, click the links through to find out more and listen to the bands, and try and get along sometime.

If you're an indiepop act looking for a gig then feel free to ask me, but don't get your hopes up cos I haven't got time to do many! Ideally I'd be able to do more, because there's so much amazing new popmusic out there which deserves to be heard. But with all the other stuff I do, it's really hard to fit it all in and I'd go crazy if I did any more.

All money taken at Sparklemotion gigs goes to the performers after I've covered costs. I'll always try and cover the bands' travel expenses as a bare minimum but if you're looking for a big guarantee you're gonna be disappointed. Sorry! That's just how it is. Likewise, if you're a booking agent then you'll have to ask your band to contact me directly. I'm sure you're a lovely person but I find the whole idea of dealing with booking agents terrifying, frankly. Nothing personal, like!
