Acoustic Club: Hertford and Bishop Stortford - 01992677992

Join us on Thursday night's at The Half Moon Bishop Stortford for an evening of local acoustic talent.

THE ACOUSTIC CLUB - Bishop's Stortford

Welcome to the Acoustic Club at the Half Moon Pub, Bishop's Stortford. We’re here to provide an acoustic platform for budding musicians wanting to play in front of an audience, as well as the seasoned pro who will find an attentive audience irrespective of the genre.

A Brief History
Keef Jackman and Drew Bonnington started the Acoustic Club in April 2002 as they both had a desire to play blues music acoustically and had no stage to do so! Initially, it was held once a month, with an open mic for all styles of music, any acoustic instrument, and any level.

Keef & Annie ran the club successfully for 10 years creating a weekly night that was very much an important part of the local music scene. In June 2012 Jess & Neil gladly inherited the club to run alongside their regular Hertford open mic nights.

Format for the Evening
The Acoustic Club's popularity has grown and it’s now held every week on a Thursday evening starting at 8.30pm through to 11pm. The Club has a very friendly feel and a fantastic mix of styles, musicians and ages. It is a no smoking venue and has a maximum capacity of 70 (which is achieved regularly!). The Club has nine 10 minute slots (2 songs) for all musicians, available from 9pm through until 10.30pm. Entry is £5 (£2 for performers).

Showcase Act
The last half-hour slot (10.30 to 11pm) is a single act showcase. This has in the past included Eric Roche with Ravi, Fledge, Dave Sutherland, Cara Winter, Andy Thornton, Mozzy Green, Kieren Mitchel and Steve Williams, After the Rush, Roger Davies (2005 Student Music Awards nominee), Simon Scardanelli, Richard Morgan and some of the top local acts.

This section of the evening is by invitation and is an ideal opportunity for artists to get some “exposure” and some CD sales! The Club is prepared to offer expenses to artists that are invited to perform.
