Gasto Promotions
Gasto Promotions have been promoting live music since 1996, when I became a committee member of Darlington Arts Centre Rhythm ‘n’ Blues Club. They were appointed the Publicity Co-ordinator and then Master of Ceremonies when the previous guy left.
They have also been booking bands for different venues and promoters since 1998. This was mainly to arrange Charity gigs at first, but music lovers asked them to put on more rock-related bands, which couldn’t be accommodated at the R’n’B Club.
