GigRealm is the engine behind live entertainment in UK hospitality. Founded in 2016, it was the first end-to-end system in the category and is still the only one. Pubs, bars and multi-site operators use it to find, book, contract, promote, pay and report on every live event, from bands and DJs to quiz hosts and drag. For multisite operators, GigRealm standardises live entertainment across the estate: central booking rules and budgets, one consolidated bill, and real-time reporting on spend, performance and ROI by venue, region or estate. For independent venues, it makes great nights simple to run: reliable acts, cover if an act doesn't show, and every booking promoted automatically. That means ready-made posters and social posts, in-venue digital signage, listings on the UK's leading music platforms, website widgets and other tools to drive customers through your doors, all without an agency. For acts, GigRealm means real, paid gigs nationwide. It was the first to ban pay-to-play and free gigs, so every gig is paid, acts keep 100% of their fee, and every booking is protected by a GigContract™. Joining is free, with perks such as discounted Uber travel to and from gigs. GigRealm's board includes Emma McClarkin OBE (CEO, British Beer & Pub Association) and Alison Wenham OBE (founder, Association of Independent Music). Founded in 2016 by Tom Brady and Reuben Narey, the company is now based in London and Yorkshire.
