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 people 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 - like this
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 most passionate songwriters here at SUN. Do it today!
Featured event
Online Song-share & Songwriting Technique Talk
Songwriters! Come perform your original song for our songwriter community at our monthly online songshare
Our songshare is a low-stress & easy way to bolster/keep your performance skills & confidence topped up + get to know other active songwriters. It's your monthly songwriters' club night - 7:00pm (Yes! 1/2 hr earlier than last year) on the 2nd Weds of each month. Put it in your diary & use the deadline to motivate you... tonight!
New song? Old song? 1/2 a song? Lyric only? Just a melody - we'll take what you've got. If you're struggling with a song/an arrangement, come play it/say it/whistle it and get suggestions from the your peers - you'll be amazed at the generosity & quality of suggestions
Not yet ready to share? Come anyway - listen, chat, make it your space
And at 'half-time' we'll continue our series of short presentations on songwriting technique by one of our founder members
The Zoom session will open a few minutes early to help get your sound sorted out. NB there is a knack to getting a good live 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 as we don't want to lose out on song time during the session: Configuring professional audio settings for Zoom Meetings
SUN isn’t a commercial venture, it's just self-help & giving you a chance to perform your songs & get better by doing it.
