Join us on Thursday, the 27th of August. We have four independent acoustic artists, all based on the south coast, for your listening pleasure. Hosted by Charlie Smith (Southampton), we will not just be looking to promote upcoming music but also raise funds for the Music Venue Trust. One pound for every ticket will go to supporting the vital work they do. Every ticket will make a difference, and thanks for your support.

Charlie Smith

My name might be common, but my style is alternative. I’m Charlie Smith, a singer-songwriter from Romsey, Hampshire. I perform solo and have experience playing and hosting my own independent shows at venues such as The Railway Inn, Flack Manor Brewery, and The Platform Tavern. I am super passionate about grassroots music and regularly participate in action to grow my local scene. Fiercely independent, I record and produce all music with a true DIY ethos. In April, I hosted six gigs in England as part of my music venue trust fundraiser tour. I managed to fundraise £575, including events in Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool & Leicester.

Suzanne Gailey

Suzanne is a compelling singer-songwriter with a raw, poetic and poignant sound which spans many genres, blending elements of folk, punk, indie, Americana and alt rock. Think PJ Harvey meets Grace Slick down a dark desert highway! Her candid and thought-provoking songs will draw you in on a journey from madhatters to the end of the world!

James Brett

Indie/Alternative/Folk soloist born & raised in Brighton. Influenced by the likes of Arctic Monkeys, Oasis, Elliott Smith & Bob Dylan to name but a few of very many. Writing relatable originals about everyday emotions & situations
