Sahaya Live
Leave the screen. Play the room.
Sahaya Live gets independent artists booked for paid shows across the UK. We work directly with promoters, venues and live partners to find the right gigs for the right acts, from support slots and showcases to headline nights. You tell us where you can play. We do the chasing.
The right room matters
A stage on its own isn't the point. Plenty of gigs cost you a Saturday, a train fare and a set to twelve people who came for someone else.
The city
Somewhere you can actually get to, and somewhere your music has a reason to land.
The crowd
People who came for your kind of night, not a bill thrown together at random.
The promoter
Someone who fills rooms, looks after acts and wants to book you again.
The fee
Agreed upfront and on the table before you commit to anything.
So we don't drop you on a listings board and leave you to chase. We build the network, talk to the promoters and only put you forward for shows that make sense. Your job is to be ready when the call comes.
How Sahaya Live works
You tell us where you can play. We go looking. Three moves, in order.
-
01
Join the roster
Tell us about your music, your live setup and the cities you can realistically get to. Solo, DJ, acoustic or full band: if you can put on a show, we want to know what that show looks like.
-
02
We work the network
We build relationships with promoters, venues, agents and live partners across the UK. When they need an act, we know who's available. When you need a show, we know who to call. You stop spending your week emailing promoters. That part's on us.
-
03
We bring you the show
When there's a fit, you get the full picture: city, date, venue, set and fee. You decide. No mystery, no obligation. Say yes and we get it booked.
Not pay-to-play. You play, you get paid.
Sahaya Live isn't another scheme where artists pay for the privilege of getting on a stage. Here's where the money goes.
- The promoterPays the performance fee.
- SahayaTakes its fee from the booking.
- YouPay nothing to join and nothing to find the show.
That's how it should work.
Where we're booking
Start local, build outward. Sahaya Live is launching around four key UK music markets.
- London
- Birmingham
- Manchester
- Newcastle
- And aroundThe surrounding towns and cities
Tell us where you're based and how far you're prepared to travel.
We'll only bring you shows that make sense for where you are, not a four-hour drive for a twenty-minute slot.
You don't need a million followers
You do need to be able to perform. We care about the show, not just the number next to your name.
Original music
Two records out or twenty. What matters is that it's yours.
A clear identity
A promoter should be able to tell who you are and what kind of night you belong on.
A set you can stand behind
Something you can confidently put in front of a room, however big or small that room is.
- Solo
- Acoustic
- DJ
- DJ and vocal
- Full band
More than a booking
Sahaya Live is part of Sahaya, so your live career isn't treated as separate from everything else you're building. The aim isn't just another gig. It's making each part of your career work harder for the others.
