The performances take place on restaurant Valveen Paljetti stage, which Cultural Centre Valve and the restaurant provides for the performer to use. It is accustomed that the performer brings their own PA-system. It’s possible to use Valve’s light PA-system, which can also be used to complement your own equipment. Please note that you must know how to use the PA-system and other related equipment independently. The events will be advertized in Valve’s (and the restaurant’s) marketing channels, but please remember to advertize to your own network as well.
A fee of €150 will be paid for completed performances. The performer must be able to invoice the fee from Valve.
