AND WITH THAT 2024 IS DONE.

I put on 25 gigs with 3 day fests. 108 bands including 17 international bands from 4 different continents. Collabbed with a few different lovely promoters and used 7 different venues. Gnarly.

It’s been an absolutely ridiculous year tbh, met tons of amazing folk and put on a whole bunch of ridiculous bands. If folk keep supporting the incredible scene we have here in Nottingham I’ll keep doing what I’m doing!

Lots of amazing stuff in the pipeline, lots still to announce. As a little January treat I’ve whacked a 15% off discount code on the gnarwhalpresents.bigcartel.com store when using the code GNEWYEAR

Have at it.

Back in the thick of it from the 16th of January. Don’t miss out. Until then support the scene, buy advance tickets! Go to gigs, put on gigs, start new bands!! Promote inclusivity, f**k the Tories, DIY OR DIE, punk f**king rock.

See you in the pit.
