The freeist acoustic night from London's underground. It's slipped into phase 2 now and we've headed to the homelands of Peckham (call the number on the flyer to find out exactly where...)
It all started at The (legendary) Square (21 Russell Square - one of Londons Social Centres - now evicted (www.londonsocialcentre.com). It was a fundraiser for the space. Slowly slowly a loose community of rebel acoustic people grew.. once the venue was lost it was summer so we travelled round a few festivals and other squats and social spaces (High Street Ken included - nice one DA and smallfish online, and cheers to Passing Clouds). It's a night of unique conscious acts cabaret style, a jam, and freedom. In 2007 it's gone monthly, and gone larger... with the vibe and philosophy intact though a little more professional... ?!?
