House Concerts
House concerts offer:
- An opportunity to listen to acoustic music close up in a warm and informal environment;
- A chance to meet the performers, discuss the music and get signed CDs;
- A great social evening of friends and neighbours and a rare chance to hear a top-class performance in your own home.
Hosting a house concert
Each event is slightly different in character, but as a host you should be able to provide:
- Space and seating for at least 15 guests
- A list of interested friends and contacts to invite
- Access to the concert room one hour prior to the arrival of guests
- Two chairs without armrests for the musicians
- A small table for displaying mailing lists and merchandise
- A meal and beds for the musicians (depending on travel arrangements)
Arrangements
Practical arrangements are flexible and made in cooperation with the host. Below is a basic guideline:
- Guests pay for tickets on the door.
- All proceeds go to the performers, less any agreed expenses.
- Recommended ticket price £10. A concession price can be offered.
- For special occasions the host may prefer to pay a set fee, which can be discussed.
- A suggested starting time for the concert is 8pm.
- The concert comprises 1 set of approx. 60 mins, or 2 sets of approx. 40 mins each by negotiation.
- If desired, we can assist with publicity by including the concert on a mailing list, or on our web site; however we will only do this with your approval.
