THE SONG CLUB is a night of original, live music
I wanted to be able to go to a pub that had live music on with music that i wanted to hear. So i set up this first Thursday of the month event at The Donkey, Leicester that has been going since Feb 2006. From the very first night it has always been full to the back of the pool table with a music loving audience. I have 4 acts per night. All acts play for 25 minutes with a 10 minute turnaround. Because of this most of the acts tend to play acoustically,but its not essential. I have a policy of trying to have at least 2 female acts on a night. I also like to have an eclectic range of musical styles. As long as its good!......In my humble opinion
Capacity for the venue is about 130 tops! Half seated half standing. Its a free entry venue so, unfortunately, acts don't get paid. But if its an out of town act then i can usually cover a bit of petrol money. Also all performers get 2 free drinks on the house!
Its a great vibe and a great venue.
Check it out or get in touch to play.
If you can't make it down to the venue check us out on the Donkey web cam on the first Thursday of the month!

Hey Gaz, thanks for the song club spot last week. I had a rockin' good time and met up with folks that I hadn't seen in over 20 years. Always such a treat to play at the Donkey. See you soon, Paul
