Oh hello there!

This gig blurb might be a little bit different to the usuals. Not too much marketing fluff, more like a personal invitation.

This event is a gathering of songwriters - extraordinary and possibly unfamiliar to you. Pure raw talent, profoundly moving musicians.

We are a collective of creatives who love songs and words.

We love the way a melody can etch into the subconscious, the lyrics that help you make sense of the world, the voices that crack in all the right places, the humour that’s sometimes entangled in the complexities.

What we love most is when the artist feels comfortable sharing.

We’re all about the songs that live in the corner of the mind, the corner of the pub, the corner of the notebook.

We love the intimate sets that stay with you forever and the colours these moments bring to our lives.

Three Songs Each is exactly this - a night where each artist shares three songs, and tells you where they came from.

They’ll take turns, playing solo, three songs each, weaving their voices and stories throughout the night.

8:00PM – Doors

8:30PM – 10:30PM – Songs + Stories

It’ll be small and special.

Lots of love! x
