ABOUT PAUL ROBINS PROMOTIONS

Paul Robins Promotions is an independent live music promoter based in Oxfordshire, presenting tribute shows, rock concerts and special live events at The Northcourt LIVE in Abingdon.

Since 2021, more than 11,500 music fans have attended our shows at The Northcourt LIVE.

​

BUILT ON EXPERIENCE

Paul Robins Promotions wasn’t created simply to organise concerts.

It grew from a lifelong passion for live music and a belief that audiences deserve properly organised shows featuring bands we genuinely believe in.

​

One rule has never changed:

We never book a band we haven’t personally seen perform live.

That means every act is chosen for musicianship, professionalism, stage presence and its ability to deliver a proper live experience.

​

MORE THAN JUST ANOTHER GIG

Some bands visit once. Others become part of the place.

Audiences return, artists come back and certain nights become part of the history of the room.

Not every show sells out.

Not every night goes exactly to plan.

That is independent live music.

But every audience deserves our absolute best.

​

WE AIN’T NO DAMN SECRET

Thousands of people now travel to The Northcourt LIVE from across Oxfordshire and beyond.

We don’t pretend to be the biggest promoter in the country.

We work hard to put great bands on stage, look after our customers and create nights people want to experience again.

We love what we do. We believe in what we do. And WE AIN’T NO DAMN SECRET.

​

#WEARETHEROADCREW

Behind every show is a team working long before the doors open and long after the audience has gone home.

Richard, Umair, Steve and Lewis help make every Paul Robins Promotions event happen — from load-in and production to doors, customers, bands and the inevitable last-minute problem nobody in the audience ever knows happened.

Together, we’ve welcomed more than 11,500 music fans to The Northcourt LIVE.

​

Without #WeAreTheRoadCrew, there isn’t a show.

INSIDE PAUL ROBINS PROMOTIONS TOWERS*

Somewhere behind the gigs, tickets, websites and questionable amounts of coffee is the entirely unofficial Paul Robins Promotions  Towers — home to the people who somehow turn ideas into actual live shows.

​

The Executive Suite — Paul & ‘The Advisor’

Strategy, websites, ticket sales, Google, marketing, planning and the occasional ridiculous idea that turns out to be a good one.

This is where the big decisions are made, problems are over-analysed and Google is watched with a level of attention it probably doesn’t deserve.

The Executive Suite is also where seemingly innocent conversations have a habit of becoming entire new projects.

​

Second Floor — 'Alice'

The editorial department.

Articles, research and enough words to keep Google occupied for the foreseeable future.

'Alice' works at considerable speed and occasionally sends something upstairs to the Executive Suite for approval.

​

Access beyond the second floor remains strictly on a need-to-know basis.

​

Third Floor — Hayden Robins, The Prince of Darkness

Video editing, IT and all things technical.

Hayden works while most sensible people are asleep, editing, rendering and keeping the technology running through the small hours — before sleeping a considerable portion of the day away.

Hence The Prince of Darkness.

If something needs filming, editing, connecting, rebooting or fixing at 3am, there’s a fair chance he’s already awake.

​

Everywhere Else — #WeAreTheRoadCrew

The beating heart of the operation and the people who turn everything discussed on the floors above into an actual show.

Load-ins, soundchecks, lights, doors, bands, audiences, last-minute changes and problems solved before most people even realise there was a problem.

They bring the experience, humour, loyalty and controlled chaos that live music simply doesn’t happen without.

They also bring enough voices, equipment, personality and egos to occupy every remaining floor, corridor, staircase and available square inch of Paul Robins Promotions Towers.

​

Without #WeAreTheRoadCrew, there isn’t a show.

With them, there’s rarely a quiet moment.

Paul Robins Promotions Towers may not actually exist. The people, personalities and chaos most definitely do.
