Heartattack & Vine
Heartattack & Vine is a brand new fully independent BYOB arts, films and gigs venue for local promoters, musicians and artists. Decor-wise we have somewhat oxymoronic cross between the surreal glamour of an Alice in Wonderland courtyard and the lo-fi charm of an Austin dive bar or, for long term ambition purposes only, CBGB's meets the Ritz.
(If we could allow smokers in we would.... but for now it's a heavy coat and 'smirking' for you we're afraid)
We're fully bedecked with a wonderful weird furniture, two complete PAs, drums, amps, a 70s thrifty shop electronic organ (as well as a lovely 60s in-house pipe organ), black & white chessboard floors, a free retro arcade games cabinet, a wall of vines, old framed pictures and gallons of fairy lights. Oh and you hopefully!
EVENTS COMING SOON https://www.facebook.com/HeartattackVine/events
NEW BANDS: Please don't ask for gigs from us directly. Promoters (see below) will generally ask you if they want you on. We do however accept demos on the door of nights and will pass them on to promoters we may think -might- like them x
PROMOTERS : A quick and easy guide to putting on a night
If you can follow all four steps then we're very easy to deal with. As a sign that you are serious about booking we won't reply if you haven't followed the first three steps.
1) Firstly, ether than emailing us first, check the 'events coming soon' ink above to see if the night you want is free. We are now adding potential reserved nights to the listings to avoid double booking -but- if we do not receive the promoters fee on time they may become available.
2) Then please read the general overview of putting on a night here http://tinyurl.com/HVdetails . And the full legal contract here http://tinyurl.com/HVlegal
3) Have you read all of the above? Now is the time to contact us on bookings@thriftybeatnik.co.uk with all the details of your event and ideally any past events you've put on. If it fits with our dynamic we will confirm or reserve the event. You must get us payment within 7 days of us saying 'aye' either via post or in person as well as the signed form here http://tinyurl.com/HVcontract
4) Just a final post-booking thing really with regards to promoters 'going live' online with events: In order to avoid confusion you must let us know a short blurb about your night with a direct link your facebook events page (or web tickets link) so that we can direct people to your page the second you go live with it. Otherwise people tend to join our events list page and don't see all the details or any updates of your page. Our preferred online ticket seller is 'WeGotTickets' as they link to Heartattack & Vine in our tickets facebook page easily and without fuss.

07732280185 : I never answer the phone... Think Bill Murray crossed with Dylan Moran. But not as good.
Heartattack & Vine is a unique creative events space / venue in which to promote music and the arts with the help of local independent companies and publications. As one of eBay Europe's top twenty five contributors to charitable organisations we're hoping to turn our own good fortune to the local arts scene donating primarily to the Open Clasp Theatre Company and Ouseburn Farm in Newcastle.
