How It Works
Six Facebook groups and hoping. £45–60 of a £300 night to an agency. Five weeks chasing an invoice. There's a better way — and it's three steps, start to paid.
Set Up. Get Seen.
Your profile is your stage — live in minutes, not weeks. Photos, sound, video, your price. Whether you perform, book, represent or promote, you're instantly visible across 65 UK cities.
Connect Directly
No gatekeepers, no cold emails into the void. Browse 464 members by genre, city and budget, and message the right people directly — usually under 2 minutes from search to shortlist.
Book & Fill Your Calendar
Agree terms, sign the contract in a minute, get paid through Stripe. Artists fill their diary, venues fill their stage, agents fill their roster, promoters fill the bill — all from one dashboard.
All of it free to join. No subscription, no listing fees — you only ever pay if you choose protected payment on a booking.

No Fake Testimonials
Seriously. Not a single "Jamie R., Solo Artist, Manchester" in sight.
This is where most platforms put three glowing quotes from "Jamie R." and "Sarah K." with stock photo avatars. You've seen them. You've never believed them.
We're new. We don't have hundreds of testimonials yet — because we'd rather earn real ones from you. GigXchange is being built with real artists, real venues, and real feedback. No invented quotes, no borrowed credibility.
Join early, help shape the platform, and when this section has real names in it — yours could be one of them.
