**The Heart of the Circle** ❤️ The Circle Session is where the art breathes. It is a dedicated space for songwriters 🎸, poets 📖, comedians 🎤, and storytellers 🗣️ to find their ground, test their craft, and connect. **We all sit in a circle**, removing the barrier between "performer" and "audience". It is a collaborative laboratory 🧪 where a new chord progression might meet a spoken-word verse, or a storyteller finds the perfect rhythm. **Practice. Share. Connect.** ✨ This is a **safe space for all levels**. Whether you are a seasoned pro or sharing your work for the first time, you are among peers. We focus on: * **The Craft:** A low-pressure room to test rough drafts and "work out" new material. 🛠️ * **The Collaboration:** Exchange chords, ideas, and feedback to help each other grow. 🤝 * **Join the Beat:** We provide **shakers** 🪇 for those who want to join the rhythm and feel the vibe! * **The Social:** We don't just stay in the room. We **organise** regular **social nights out** 🍻 for all attendees, so the friendships made in the circle continue outside of it! 🕺 **Technical Setup** ⚡️ We provide the essentials so you can focus on the performance: * **PA System:** 3 channels available if a plug-in is required. * **Mics & Gear:** Microphones, cables, and a sheet stand with a light provided. 🎼 * **Keyboards:** A keyboard can be set up for the evening—just please **ask in advance!** 🎹 * **Amps:** Bass players are more than welcome to bring along a bass amp. 🎸🔊 * **Instruments:** Please **bring your own** primary instruments! ### **2026 Season: Dates & Themes** 📅 Our themes are designed to ignite your imagination.
