On Saturday 22nd of August 2009 This Charming Sound invited ten songwriters into a dusty disused store room in the centre of Chichester on one of the hottest days of the year, to record just one song each, This film footage is the only known documentation of our music community and paints a portrait of the music that is made and preformed in the city. Some performers travelled all-day by train and some just walked to the end of their road, to huddle together from 9 in the morning to 6 at night. Recorded using the most basic of equipment borrowed from friends or brought cheaply second hand then edited over the next few months, using industry standard software. This is Twenty two eight nine.
This Charming Sound formed in 2004 simply to help setup live shows for a small group of artists from Chichester, from there we began to exhibit and document the music made in and around the city. We have put on hundreds of shows and more than a thousand different artists, playing host to acts from all over the United Kingdom as well as Germany and France.
From April 2006 to we ran a weekly show on Fridays at La Havana Bar in Chichester and stopped in September 2008
We currently run the only regular All Ages event in the south, at the The Cellar Club, on the last Sunday of each month.
We have also put on shows at: The Cave Chichester, The Chichester Inn Chichester, The Pallant House Art Gallery Chichester. The Hope Brighton, The Wickbourne Arts Center, Climping Hall, The Cellar Club The Fernleigh Centre Chichester, The Studio @ The Alexandra Theater Bognor Regis

Hello mate! Hope you're well! Just checking - Is tonight over 18s? I assume so because it's in a pub - What time should I get there? - What do I need to bring?
Just to let you know I've got a very sore throat and don't feel 100% so I might not be able to stay long after I've played, don't worry, can still sing etc., just slightly uncomfortable! :P
