The UK live music platform that gets you found, booked & paid
A public side that helps people find you, an app where you get booked, and real UK data to price like a pro.
Last updated: 9 September 2026
The flywheel
Most platforms are a pile of features. GigXchange is a loop: more members bring more gigs, more gigs sharpen the UK fee data, and better data helps more people find you — so the platform works harder the more it's used.

Inside each part
Three connected parts — a public website for discovery, a members-only booking app, and a UK gig-fee data engine. Click any domain in the flywheel to see the tools inside it and how it feeds the other two.
The Website
The public side anyone can browse without signing up — a discovery engine for the UK live scene plus a suite of free tools, engineered to be found by people and by AI assistants. Every page is a doorway.

Why the whole beats the sum
A standalone directory or a lone booking app each solve one problem. Joined into a loop, they compound — more places to be found, more confirmed bookings, and pricing backed by real UK gig-fee data.
More ways to be found
Your profile, listings, press kit and the guides around them each earn their own discovery — so you turn up in more places, not just one.
Your wins travel
What you do in the app — events, press kits, confirmed gigs — turns into public pages that help even more people discover you.
Smarter pricing, for everyone
Every booking and survey sharpens the UK fee data — so you, and the whole scene, price and pitch with real numbers instead of guesswork.
