Calling All Bands That Can Cut It Unplugged...

From 5 piece bands to solo acts, if you feel you have what it takes to hold an audience as well as play great tunes acoustically, then we have just the place for you to be on 15th January 2012: Here on the ‘Unplugged’ stage.

Music, we feel, is an important part of any event, but sometimes it can get a little too loud and a little too raucous! Not here, it’s going to be literally chilled out all the way, where you can sit and relax listening to each set.

We are currently looking for bands to play unplugged sets of approximately 30 mins. Are you interested? Then email two tracks and your contact details to wendy.marks@jazzpublishing.co.uk. We'll be in touch in no time.
