   About The Acoustic Ballroom
The Acoustic Ballroom happens on the first Friday of every month in Wallingford, South Oxfordshire. It's been going since November 2005 and (though I say it myself) has been a rip roaring success.

It is an acoustic open mic night where anyone is welcome to come and play. It is not based around any musical genre and any style of performance is welcome. The only rule is that all performances and instruments must be acoustic and unplugged.

No act is booked before the night and there are no auditions. Performers turn up on the night and get a short slot to play - usually 2 songs. If you've never been before you are pretty much guaranteed to play as (at least) 2 slots are reserved for new performers.

It costs £3 to get in, but all performers get in for free.

We have recently moved house to a swanky new venue (there's a bar and everything). Check our pages on the World Wide Web for details and a map.

Doors/sign up for a slot at 8pm. Music starts at 8.30 and we finish at around 11pm.

See you on the first Friday.....

Great fun singing at the acoustic ballroom in December. Myself and Stuart are looking for other musicians to join us for gigs in the future. We are looking for a double bass player or celloist, pianist, violin / fiddle player and drummer or percussionist. Please contact me if you fancy joining us. Janet.

Hi Ben,

Just wanted to say a big thank you for giving me the opportunity to play my first ever solo gig at The Acoustic Ballroom last week. It was a great night (as always) and I really enjoyed myself (as did my friends and family that attended)!

Hopefully I'll be uploading the video that my friend Dave filmed of my performance some time this week on youtube and myspace. I'll also send an email your way soon.

Thanks again, I'll see you at the next one!

All the best,

Tom

I'm pretty good, considering that I broke up with Tinamaria on the 18th of January. I feel under pressure to finish a cd's worth of recordings with drums and bass and so on and I think I should be composing more songs more quickly and better. I enjoyed the folk club at the Plough in Long Wittenham, Oxfordshire, last night, but I felt that the last song I did (Loop the Loop) could be a lot better. I am looking forward to playing at the Acoustic Ballroom again, probably in April. I am still single. I am getting a bit lonely, but I am concerned that I have so much to do at the moment that I might not devote enough time to a new relationship and I am not sure that I have properly got over Tinamaria yet. I think I might feel less time pressure when I have finished recording the next cd. How are things with you? Have you checked the entry on Wikipedia for Cholsey? I hope the next Ballroom goes well.
Love and Darkness,
Mark
