Penarth Acoustic Club

A venue for live acoustic music, poetry, or any performance suitable for a small stage. We have a PA system, so we're not totally "unplugged", but it's not the Shea stadium and your ears won't be ringing when you leave. Events take place once a month, normally the third Friday, in the Prince William Suite of Penarth Cons Club, although there is no political connection - we just hire the room and they are very good to us!

Entry is normally between �5 and �10 and varies according to the fees required by our guests, but it all goes towards paying for guests as funds allow. Proceeds of our raffles go to charity. In February 2015, we donated �350-worth of musical instruments to MIND in the Vale, in September 2016, �300-worth of Ukuleles to Community Music Wales, in June 2016, �400-worth of Samba percussion instruments, and in November 2016 another �650-worth of percussion instruments, again to Community Music Wales.

We plan the night's entertainment beforehand, so it's not so much an "open mic" evening, more of an "acoustic cabaret", where invited performers do either one 30-minute spot, or two sets of two or three songs, one in each half, although it's also fairly informal, so anything might end up happening, within limits! Doors open at 7:30 pm, and we aim to be finished by 11pm. Every so often there will be featured guest performer nights, where the format, and even the venue, may be different.
