PLATFORM is a FREE singer-songwriter evening presenting the best of today's creative music. An eclectic mix of styles from folk to jazz to heavy rock makes for an interesting and entertaining evening. Each PLATFORM comprises a number of booked acts plus various floor spots who 'pitch and play'. These are always welcome and every effort will be made to ensure that all who turn up are given a spot.
With a sound engineer on hand and a great PA we guarantee a great sound for the performers with an opportunity (optional) to record a minidisc of their performance. There is an excellent, friendly atmosphere and easy transport links making the evening a must!
Performances start at about 8.15pm. Performers are asked to be at the venue at 7.00pm for sound-checking.
To perform at PLATFORM, there are two options : simply turn up on the night to perform 1 or 2 songs (depending on how many acts we have) or send a CD with a view to a booking to performing a 25-30 minute set. The address for the latter is Ken Wood, 1 Poseidon Court, Homer Drive, London E14 3UG or call on 020 7538 5516 or 07802 218 752.
Performers who have CDs may bring them and sell them on the night.
PLATFORM meets on the second Tuesday of each month
