The Living Room acoustic night Music promotion...gigs and festivals The Living Room is an acoustic night organised by Hope Street Music (HSM).

It started in Cambridge in 2004 and has been described in the music press as “…the premier acoustic night in Cambridge”. Bands and singer/songwriters are invited to perform their work in stripped-down acoustic format. This gives the audience a chance to hear artists perform their songs in a way perhaps not usually heard, although for many it is how the songs were originally written…perhaps even in

their own living room! There is a relaxed atmosphere at each night and the audience sit on rugs and cushions strewn around the floor, although seats are available if needed. The room is lit only by muted stage lighting and candles to create an atmosphere conducive to listening to good music. The Living Room has a homely, chilled-out atmosphere and is very laid-back but the quality of the evening is second to none. It’s also perhaps unique in that the audience remain silent while artists perform, other than applauding at the end of each song of course. It has a reputation as a must-play night and as a result we get hundreds of requests from artists, both from the UK and abroad, to play thus ensuring we only select and book quality artists. The Living Room has now featured at a number of music festivals, for example Hope Street Music booked and ran The Living Room stage at Secret Garden Party (SGP) for 12 years until SGP’s demise in 2017. Currently HSM co-programs and runs The Den stage (for emerging talent) at Cambridge Folk Festival.

Hello again

Time for a yearly update from The Living Room.

Over the summer of 2022 when the world arose from the covid curse, many of you came and joined us in the (Secret) Garden for a party and it was wonderful.
So much so we will be back again this year and we do hope you will join us.

We're putting together an array of beautiful music for you.

Here are some photos from this year to remind you of the summer in dark cold January:

We shall also see you at the Cambridge Folk Festival Folk Festival in our alter ego... The Den! More detail on that soon.

Some of The Living Room team are involved in a new festival neat Crawley called Good Vibrations Society which is small, beautiful, family friendly and very good value. While there isn't a Living Room Tent, you will many many of the team are involved in programming, decor, lighting, sound and fun - Think early days Secret Garden for the family

I hope you are all keeping well, the idea of running acoustic nights through the year is not forgotten, we just need it to be the right time

Love of love from all the team, see you in the summer!
