For The Sake Of The Song is a new acoustic music night that started in September 2008 at the 41 Monkgate community arts centre in York.
The night promises to bring you a range of acoustic music from all over the world featuring roots, country, folk, blues, jazz and alternative lo-fi singer-songwriters. It's organised by Mickey Finn and singer-songwriter Hayley Hutchinson who would like to give the people of York a comfortable and fun environment in which to see three quality acts.
This is a non profit organisation. The proceeds of each concert will help the charity-run arts centre maintain a programme of innovation and excellence in artistic activity which is why we would really appreciate your support.
The venue is a fully operational theatre with a bar, DJs, intimate lighting, cosy atmosphere, seating and tables, a disco ball and a friendly ghost..

Hello folks! Just wanted to alert you to the final PPY shows before Christmas. Having a little break here but not before this belter!
The biggest show we've done to date takes place on Saturday Oct. 25th at The Duchess with Canadian country rockers The Sadies returning to York for the third time. Taking elements of rock'n'roll, surf, garage, country and sixties rock and still managing to sound just like The Sadies this band have been wowing audiences for the last fifteen years.
Garth Hudson (The Band), Jon Spencer, Gary Louris, Neko Case, Blue Rodeo and Heavy Trash have all guested on their records. They are rather bloody good live. The Federals are supporting and it's a Saturday night. P.A.R.T.Y. O.N.
I'm hoping to make it along to watch the November night, as I will finally be on the right side of the planet for it for a few weeks. :) Hope the first two go really well! x
