What we’re about
Songwriters of the world, let’s...
Get together, perform our songs & collaborate on-line and in person at open mics in and around London & wherever you live
Get better by doing it - get a feel for how good your song & performance is from how it goes down
Get writing - write a new song for next month’s show, or bring a half finished idea to get feedback and direction if it's not writing itself
Get collaborating - they say good songs are written but great songs are co-written. Get co-writing with us, your community. Our community is now forging new & surprising partnerships - it's the best fun you can imagine to collaborate with you'd never come across in your day-day life. Get connected. Get your name on our collaboration register & you'll see 🍀
Get your name down – check the next virtual sessions and lookout for the next face-face session. Even if you aren’t playing, get your name down anyway - come and support your community, check out the talent, give feedback, have a chat
Get a song on Soundcloud, Spotify, Youtube, Facebook etc, put a link to it on our showcase register and we’ll feature it on a dedicated public play list
Don't get why we're called 'Songwriters Unplugged Night'? The original idea was to get 15 songwriters together in the function room of a London pub and play our songs to each other in the round once a month. We're working our way up to that with regular online sessions, piggy-backing on existing open mics, and we'll have our own evening in a lovely London pub before your new album is released, so we're keeping the SUN name & we'll grow into it
PS this isn’t a commercial venture, just self-help & making our own entertainment - so come on...
Get involved - join the world's top 536 active songwriters here at SUN. Do it today!

See all- Online Song-share & Songwriting Technique TalkLink visible for attendees
Songwriters! Come and perform a couple of your original songs for our songwriter community at the monthly online songshare.
Our songshare is a low-stress & easy way to keep your performance skills & confidence topped up + get to know other active songwriters. It's your monthly songwriters' club night - 7:30pm on the 2nd Weds of each month. Put it in your diary & use the deadline to motivate your practice tonight.
New song, old song, 1/2 a song - we'll take what you've got. If you're struggling with a song/an arrangement, come play it and get suggestions.
Not yet ready to play? Come anyway - listen & chat.
And at 'half-time' we'll continue our series of short talks on songwriting technique by one of our founder members.
The Zoom session will open 10 minutes early to help get your sound sorted out.
NB there's a knack to getting a good sound in Zoom: you need to "enable original sound for musicians" in Zoom settings before the meeting and set 'original sound for musicians' to 'On' when you perform.
If unsure, please check this link/ask for help BEFORE the meeting: Configuring professional audio settings for Zoom Meetings
This isn’t a commercial venture, just self-help & giving you a chance to perform your songs.
Show some commitment to yourself as a songwriter... sign up right now!
- Our first ever live event!The Marlborough Arms, London, WC1E 7HJ
Hi Songwriters, we’re excited to announce our first live, face-face event
We’re piggy-backing off an open mic right in the centre of London on Tues 24th Sept at the Marlborough Arms near Goodge St tube station, ie we’re booking up early slots at their 24th Sept open mic – check-in from 7, music starts 7:30
If you’re free and have a couple of your originals you’d like to play live, click HERE and reserve a slot at the 24th Sept event – you’ll have to register but it’s all free & legit
Also... please remember to click in meetup too to say that you're attending so we know who's coming
Win & I have already booked the 1st two slots, and I know from my last visit that all slots will get booked so do get in early if you want to play. Also I'd advise against booking any slot beyond the 12th, as things can overrun and you may not get to play
If you miss out on a place, why not come along anyway to check it out & meet other songwriters face-face, finally! Again, please click in Meetup that you're attending but not playing so we can look out for you
The Marlborough is a nice pub, good food and Michael (the host) is very welcoming – I was there in July and can tell you it will be a fun evening
Hope to see you there, Stu
