A live music marketplace and gig booking site is set to expand to 10 more cities after seeing success in the North of England.
GigPig launched in June after securing pre-seed funding and signing up dozens of venues in Newcastle and Manchester. The platform is free to artists and allows venues to hire musicians directly without third parties.
The company is now based in Manchester, where it employs 12 and already works with 100 of the city’s restaurants, bars, pubs and clubs. Co-founder Michael Forster is based in Newcastle, where the platform has also signed up dozens of venues.
