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

There's a house guitar at every night, 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.
