Runs the GigHub News desk from Kathmandu. Fifteen years of booking, mixing and writing about rooms that hold under a thousand people.
How the desk works
GigHub News is the reporting side of GigHub, the platform venues and artists in Nepal use to fill their diaries. The two run separately on purpose: the listings sell tickets, the desk reports on the rooms selling them, and no story here is bought.
We publish five things: reviews of nights we actually attended, reporting on the business of live music, interviews that run long, practical writing about gear and production, and coverage of the festival season from the production office rather than the photo pit.
What we will not do
We do not run press releases as articles, we do not take payment for coverage, and we do not review a night we did not stand in. When a venue or promoter is a GigHub customer and appears in a story, the story says so.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, write to news@gighub.com.np and we will correct it at the top of the article with the date of the change.
