the bill

Episode sponsorship, Guest rundowns, On-location filming, Gear features, Tour coverage, Social cut-downs

Guests & collaborations

  • Trivium
  • Biohazard
  • Dave EllefsonMegadeth

And bands playing their first support slot the same week. Same questions, same respect, either way.

Why it works

Small room.
Right people.

  • A room full of buyers

    Players researching their next amp, pedal, cab or set of strings. An audience that reads spec sheets for fun and takes recommendations from people who actually gig.

  • Rooted in the scene

    Hosted by Pete Renshaw: 25 years on the circuit, booker and promoter at Voodoo Belfast, and in the media tent at Bloodstock. The access is real because the relationships are.

  • Made for the feed

    Every episode becomes vertical clips, stills and short cuts. You get assets that work on Instagram and YouTube, not just a logo on a corner.

  • Names that travel

    Trivium, Biohazard and Dave Ellefson of Megadeth have all sat down for it, and gear gets talked about honestly either way. That is exactly why the recommendations land.

Ways in

Before you ask

The usual questions

What does a sponsorship actually include?

It depends on the fit. Most partnerships combine a host-read mention, the gear appearing genuinely in the episode, links in the description, and social cut-downs you can post on your own channels. It is built around what you need rather than picked off a rate card.

Do you only feature Belfast bands?

Belfast and the wider Northern Irish scene is home, and it always gets priority. Touring bands passing through are very welcome. Get in touch before the tour routing is locked and we will try to make it work.

We are touring through Northern Ireland. Can you film us?

Usually, yes. On-location rundowns around soundcheck are the easiest to arrange. The more notice you can give, the better the odds of getting a slot.

How much does it cost?

There is no fixed price list. Cost depends on the format, how much is filmed and what assets you need back. Send a note about what you have in mind and you will get a straight answer.

Can we use the footage on our own channels?

Yes. Partners and guests get clips and stills to post themselves. The content being useful to you is the whole point.
