 Not a normal venue, more like a mix of the Radio One Live Lounge, and hearing every note as if you're sitting in the corner of the artist's recording studio. If you'd like to come along it's simple:- choose a gig - have a listen - donate to the artist - we send out your personal invite - & that's it. It's by private invitation only, very limited spaces, non-profit making and all about the music not the money!

"To share in a concert so intimate is truly refreshing... we were sitting almost in the band, so there was no need for excessive amplification. You could see every note played. The concept behind the concerts is that rather than making a fleeting connection with tens of thousands, the aim is to make a far greater impression on a select few. On this close encounter, it is no idle boast. "
"I'd heard such great things about this place... and they're all true !"
