Welcome to the Acoustic Club at the South Mill Arts Centre. We are here to provide an acoustic platform for musicians wanting to play in front of a live audience. We are happy to accommodate every level of player from a young player taking their first step in live performance to the seasoned professional.

 

All players will find an attentive audience, irrespective of the genre, in a great venue for live music.

 

We a capacity of about 70 and we have a state-of-the-art amplification and sound system. Several visiting professional players have remarked that the sound achieved is equal to the best in many larger venues.

 

The onsite Sound Engineers are masters of their system and often get kidnapped to work on major tours headlined by household names.

EVENTS AT THE BELGIAN BREWER

We are trying to sort out On Line ticketing and this will be uploaded as soon as we have confirmed the details.

 

However, unless we have an absolutely massive response to any particular evening we are keen to offer “Tickets on the Door” at all events.

 

We will have no defined minimum age but 18’s attending must be accompanied by a responsible person and the young people attending should be of an age to understand the meaning of a music evening. There will be reduced prices for Under 18’s only on our dedicated Young Players Evenings.
