Before you come

Live instruments only

No backing tracks at any of our nights. Everything you hear is played in the room.

Olly can back you on guitar

Not a guitarist? Olly will play while you sing. Send him the song at least three days ahead so he has time to learn it.

There's a guitar you can borrow

Olly hosts every night and always has his guitar with him, so you don't need to carry one across London.

Bring at least two songs

Everyone gets a proper slot, so come with a couple of things ready to play.

Come and play

Let us know you’re coming so Olly can plan the running order. Nothing to book and nothing to pay. It’s just a heads-up.

One email a week

Every Monday we send what’s on that week. Nothing on that week? No email.
