Please feel free to direct all enquiries to our office to handle on your behalf. We will audition, register and onboard for you ensuring the artist meets full compliance and is a suitable standard for your venue.

We program 3 – 6 months in advance for local shows. Due to supply and demand, we program up to 12 months in advance for Holiday Shows like Oktoberfest and St Patrick’s Day. We work closely with you to plan your Premium Show offers and calendar to ensure you get the best deal possible with access to the best available show options.
It happens. You may have to cancel your booked entertainment at the last minute because your car park is flooded. Your stage is leaking. You have lost power. You may not have enough staff to even operate. You may have a glitch in your internal booking system and accidentally double book your artist with ours.
These things happen. We work closely with all venues to help you through a challenging situation to find an amicable solution when things like this happen. The standard industry practice is that all cancellations within seven days must be paid in full as the Artist has lost income due to no fault of their own. However, we are always happy to negotiate for you to find an amicable solution for all parties.
You will have to deal with cancellations as well. Artists you have booked directly may cancel at the last minute or simply not show up.
In the event of a no show or cancellation by your Artist, call Pushworth and we will attempt to replace that artist for you. 9/10 times we will be able to find a replacement act for you. Our Data shows that casual booking venues struggle with a 65% greater rate of no shows and last-minute cancellations than venues who book exclusively with Pushworth.
Conversely, our Artists may get sick, have car accidents on the way to your show or have to take sick children to the hospital at the last minute. These things happen.
In the event of a cancellation by the Artist, Pushworth will replace that artist for you.
Our Entertainment Week is Monday to Sunday.
Performance Times will be noted on each Contract.
In the event of a time change, Pushworth will email the Artist with your revised times.

The Artist must check with the Duty Manager upon arrival and synchronize times to establish Official Gig Time and ensure start, finish, sets and breaks are maintained.
All Artists will set their devices to Official Gig Time.

You reserve the right to cancel a performance if a performer does not show up on time a performance.
Should you ask the Artist to finish earlier than the contracted times, you are still obligated to pay the full amount on the contract.
Should an Artist ask to finish earlier than the contracted times, they will consult with your Duty Manager to notify them of the reason and will be paid in lieu for the time performed.
We email Gig Activations to all acts the week before your gig to double confirm. They are instructed to arrive no less than one hour priod to the show start time. However illness, accidents and mother nature sometimes intervene. So please call us if the act has not arrived 60 Minutes before show time.
