Want to play?

Do you have new songs or arrangements to try, a new line up for your group, a trial combo, want to gain stage experience or simply entertain people with live acoustic music?  

This is an 'unplugged' event; we have no sound system.  When playing from the stage, the acoustics in the hall are good. . . but we do allow you to bring small portable amps in cases such as for looping, acoustic bass, electric piano etc.

We do ask performers for £3 (cash) contribution (as opposed to £6 for others) as refreshments and food are included as part of the evening - cheaper than the price of a pint and more of it! 

The  normal format is seven or eight pre-booked, 15 minute slots, often with a longer 'feature' act at some point in the evening.  Spare slots, if any, are allocated on the evening . . . but that is very rare!  The attentive audience (no background chatter!) is seated 'cabaret' style, around small candle-lit tables. You may video your set and sell your CDs etc etc. 

To request a slot,  send an email (see contact page or the page banner). You'll receive an acknowledgement. Then, a week or so before the event you'll get an email confirming you have a slot and providing you with detailed information. 

Performers should be there before 7:15pm, so we can get things sorted and start on time. The  music starts at 7:30pm and normally finishes at about 10:30pm . . but we do go on a bit later sometimes!

Directions to the Hall are on our Contacts page.

Importantly, bring your friends and supporters!  Keep music alive in our village halls, whilst making sure they don't fall down (the halls, that is - not the friends)!
