The F#Sharp Club is a new monthly happening in Tooting at the Graveney & Meadow Bar . It's hope is to provide a safe & encouraging space for songwriters, musicians, spoken word & cabaret artists to express themselves with their own original work. The intention is for as mixed a night as possible with as huge a juxaposition of styles, genres ages & artistic decisions as we can handle. Are you up for that ? and do you want to help get involved as we need help not just as performers but in setting the night up and eventually helping run it.

​

The setup will be a performance space with a small PA and people performing slots throughout the evening between 8 & 11. Spots will normally be around 10-15 but there will normally be one or two spots for an artist to perform more extended sets.

​

We will ask audience members to make a contribution ( between £5&£10) and they can pay either cash or with a card. All the money will then be put back into the club & 1) try and pay the performers initially a contribution to their travel expenses (2) pay for flyers & some everts for future events. The clubs relationship with the venue is very straightforward which is we have the space for free ( and charge what we want)  & they take the bar takings. Obviously if they end up turning people away as it is so busy etc I suspect things would be negogiated.

​

On a personal note as a performer living in London for 30 years myself I am very aware of how hard it is to find a space to develop work and test material. Audiences are essential to this end and although London has a wealth of amazing venues there are fewer and fewer places to perform unless you are a well known name. During lockdown many creatives I know initially had a space of time not known for years to write new material & interrogate their older stuff. Lockdown too made us aware of how glorious it is to share, mingle & delight in performing and experiencing others talents. So with fire in our bellies & an utterance on the tip of our tongue lets do this !! Jake
