Anything that displays some kind of beauty, a beautiful melody, something with rhythm, something joy, something painful, something that brings a smile to your face. Anything that is something.
About me: Please see my BLOG for each week's listings.
Every Monday evening at the Halfmoon Putney, 93 Lower Richmond Road, London SW15. From 8pm. Still only £2.50.
"HALFMOON UNPLUGGED" is the third generation of a tradition of Monday night acoustic sessions which have taken place at London's famous music venue, the Halfmoon Putney, on and off since the early 60's.
Every Monday night is a chance to see only the very best emerging singer-songwriters and unplugged bands from across the UK and the globe. It is the quality of music, laid back atmosphere of this historic venue, and an audience that are there purely to enjoy excellent new music that make Halfmoon Unplugged stand out from other acoustic events as one of the worlds best.
Here is where people come to listen.
The format of the night is 7 artists/bands playing three song sets between 815pm and 1030pm. At 1030pm a carefully selected headline artist/band plays a 30 to 40 minute set to finish the night.
No one likes rules but we do have one or two at Halfmoon Unplugged, lets think of them as an ethos, less a set of rules.
*Backing tracks are not allowed.
*Bands playing acoustic versions of their electric set are welcome but must use acoustic guitars instead of electric ones and use 'hot rods' or brushes on drum kits instead of drum sticks.
