about us
Saurus Music is run by a small team of experienced and active touring and recording musicians. We Tour extensively in the UK and in the EU and have played at many of the best-known specialist rock festivals.
We set up Saurus because we have learned so much about the current rock music scene and how to make things work really well. We also have built up extensive contacts covering:
- live/tour support
- music venues
- live promoters
- small tour logistics
- festivals
- radio
- recording
- music distribution
- product design/artwork
- video production
- merchandising
- PR
- physical publications
- digital media
We have learned how to make this work well for ourselves and we want to bring this experience and knowledge to the party. We don’t have all the answers, but we probably know somebody who does.
We will only work with a small number of artists, because we have to be fully committed to the music, so that we can help you achieve your aim and be as driven to get the results you want, as much as you do. We also believe it should be a lot of fun, so you will need a sense of humour!
Our experience has been that it is a ‘big ask’ to expect other people to work as hard on your band as you will yourselves, but we are here to work with you as a team to get things done right.

Overview
Radio Plugging
Since 2013
Radio plugging is the task of promoting your music to the right people so that they consider including your song in station playlists and in radio shows. We can’t guarantee airplay, but we can certainly get your music to the right people for you with a personal touch and a track record of promoting excellent music.
Tour Booking
Since 2013
Using our up-to-date practical knowledge of the live rock club circuit, we can take the strain of organising your next UK tour. We have personal relationships with venues and promoters across mainland UK (England, Scotland, and Wales). We know how to organise tours, and timescales, what the going rates are, what to ask, and how to close the deal. We can also advise you on all the things you need to think about and do yourselves to make your tour run well
