I’ve been the house promoter at Bootleg since mid 2017 – that means I programme and market Bootleg’s events and I’m supposed to update the website. My own musical taste is varied but I mainly like to find the best new thing (who often can’t sell tickets yet) and then berate people into seeing them at Bootleg first. I believe that being a venue where people discover their favourite new acts is how we connect with people on a level where they come back again and again.
