These candlelit nights at The Donkey are a showcase for the best songwriting talents of the area.
Predominantly for unsigned acts, the nights will feature 4 acts each performing 25 minute sets of original songs.
Although these are mostly acoustic set ups, any instrumental line up is welcome as long as they can be set up quickly.
Any genre of music is welcome as well as it is well played and sang........... and I like it!

| The first Song Club night was the 2nd February 2006 . The place was packed and the music original. It seems plenty of people came from far and wide to enjoy something a little different. We took a few shots of it all for you to peruse. Since then we've had a fantastic list of both local and "far & wide" talent joining in with us. |

The Song Club is A free night of original music every first Thursday of the month featuring some of the best songwriters in the area.
