Welcome to the world of Hard Drive Promotions

Firstly, allow me to introduce myself. I am Dave Holmes and it is my aim to promote your music on a global scale by using my knowledge of the industry and the contacts I have available to help YOU, the artist to get your hard work recognized. In the past, whilst living in the South of England, I helped to promote bands and artists and have also written 'one or two' reviews for gigs, festivals and albums. In more recent years I re-located to the North East of England where I was fortunate enough to co-present a weekly radio show on Lionheart Radio, which was an enormous honour for me. As well as co-presenting, and frequently inviting bands and artists to the studio we spent a lot of time travelling to gigs and festivals as promoters and also gaining interviews for radio play with some of the top names in the business and it enabled us to network with the people that matter when it comes to being able to offer bands and artists the service they want.
And now here I am living in my secluded dream cottage located in the most beautiful country I know - Scotland . My 'spiritual home' may be isolated and 'seem like a million miles' from anywhere, but trust me this makes for an ideal working environment and we most definitely have our 'fingers on the pulse' of the music world !
I can assist you in the following areas:.
-
Radio play
-
Press reviews and listings
-
Booking gigs/events

If you wish to become part of the Hard Drive Promotions family then please contact me and I can build a profile tailored to your band/act and thereby leaving you to get on with the important stuff, doing what you do best - making the music!

We had a great night thanks to Hard Drive Promotions in this small venue with a lot of people at Venue@24 Crieff
Someone who can arrange a gig,promote it, look after the artists and keep the promoter happy all at the same time,believe me,there aren't many around and I've worked with a few.
So good luck to Dave and all who sail with him!!"
