“We are delighted to be partnering with GigPig to help its music artists get home after late night concerts and gigs. Safety is a top priority for Uber, and with millions of trips happening regularly on our platform across the UK, we want to help everyone, no matter where they are going, get home at the touch of a button."
Andrew Brem
General Manager, Uber UK
Gig pig is great to receive a variety of gigs. It’s very easy to use. You accept a gig and once the venue confirms the gig is yours. Payment is all done electronically which is great to keep track on things. The features that have been released recently only make it better. I can see GigPig becoming a main player in the music industry in no time.

We’ve always been proud of our music scene and the city is known for it, globally.“I’m delighted to support the incredible initiative and partnership between GigPig and Uber. We need to support our up and coming artists, to which the expense of travel can be a barrier. This initiative will pave the way for the next generation of artists."

"GigPig makes life so much easier for gigging musicians. It takes away the stress of having to plug away at promoting yourself to venues and allows you to focus on the quality of your product. Since I've been working with gigpig, I've had a much steadier flow of work and each and every gig is made simple by the clear and concise instructions on the gigsheet."

“At Reform Radio, we want to make a positive difference to the lives of young people and inspire the next generation to consider music as a career. Our partnership with GigPig is a fantastic opportunity to open doors and improve access to the industry. The ultimate goal is to enable the city’s venues to discover new artists, in turn giving young people a platform to establish themselves as professional artists; from where they can build their profile and connections to secure repeat work. I truly believe that with more partnerships like this, we will improve the industry for all new and existing professional artists."

Looking forward to continuing to work with GigPig and building a strong relationship and smashing out more gigs!!!"

"After teaming up with GigPig for our entertainment bookings - it’s allowed us greater control over our Music offering and therefore allowed us to schedule way ahead as a business. It’s streamlined the booking and management process for us across the board, across multiple departments such as the venues themselves and our finance department. We have worked with them to understand what music works best, where and when across our business, which has meant we are maximising our guest experience."

If I ever have an issue, the GigPig team are there to help almost instantaneously, and will always make sure the right thing is done in every circumstance. It really has changed the way I gig."

"I’m finding GigPig great to use, the support side of things is ideal as any help is only a phone call/email away, Amber has been spot on! The user interface is easy to navigate and having a varied range of so many artists disposable at the click of a mouse makes finding acts super easy! The invoice side of things makes accounting a lot more streamlined too, overall very happy making the switch over!"

“We're delighted to support GigPig - an easy-to-use and valuable tool to help local pubs book live musicians and DJs. We know that many top musicians have started their careers performing in the nation's pubs, and publicans can use live music to help drive traffic on slower evenings. As the hub of their local community, pubs are natural live music venues, creating a fantastic opportunity for people to get together and enjoy a pint while listening to the music they love."
Nik Antona

"This is an incredible opportunity to reach new, larger audiences. I’m an avid cricket follower and never dreamed I’d have the chance to play a set to a crowd in this iconic stadium. Cricket and music are two of my passions and it’s fantastic to bring them together.“This wouldn’t have been possible if I’d not signed up to GigPig, it’s a platform which has struck up links with unique and interesting venues which I would struggle to access otherwise. I’m looking forward to heading back to Emirates Old Trafford in September. It’s going to be a great afternoon and I’ll be aiming to create an atmosphere which gets the crowd behind the cricketers!"
