Question 1

Will there be a PA, mixing desk and other equipment?

Accepted Answer

We are working with the PA system, lighting, etc. provided by Centrala. Sound will be mixed by an experienced sound engineer.

Question 2

What should I bring?

Accepted Answer

This really depends on what you are able to carry, set-up and take down again. You should bring all the kit you will need, power supplies and basic cabling (especially if you have specific cable needs). There is the capacity to have video projection as well, should you need it.

Question 3

For how long can I perform?

Accepted Answer

Your set should be set-up, performed and taken down again in 20 minutes. If you search on YouTube for "EMOM", you will find some excellent examples of the events in practice. You should book a performer ticket here before turning up.

Question 4

I've never performed in public before. Can I try here?

Accepted Answer

This is the ideal space for trying stuff out. We expect both seasoned performers and first-timers to take part, as well as for people trying out new things to come along. We expect the audience to be mainly people who understand live electronic music and to be supportive.

Question 5

Is there a charge for performing?

Accepted Answer

We are running the whole event on a "pay what you feel" basis, cash on the night. We think that this is the most cost-efficient way of doing it and doesn't exclude anyone for reasons of money.

Question 6

Is there parking at the venue?

Accepted Answer

Centrala is based in the Minerva Works and recently they have started asking people parking to register their car with the venue; there are not many parking spaces at the Minerva Works. There is plenty of on-street parking outside the venue and this is free after 18.00.

Question 7

Can I lock up my bicycle at the venue?

Accepted Answer

There is a bike rack inside the Minerva Works compound. There are places to lock bikes on the small quay next to the canal. (The canal is not accessible to the public from this side.)
