About Songwriter Evening

This is NOT your typical open mic.

Each Songwriter Evening is dedicated entirely to original songwriting.

Join us for our next Songwriter Evening in September at Ysceifiog Village Hall, an evening where the audience comes to listen — and the performers share their own original work.

Whether you’re a songwriter ready to perform or someone who loves discovering new music, this is your invitation.

For the Audience

Come to Songwriter Evening and experience exceptional musicians performing the songs they’ve written — not covers, not background music, but original work in a room designed for listening with superb acoustics, sound and lighting.

Musicians tell us that they love performing at Songwriter Evening because there is an audience who have actually come to listen. Sadly, that is all too rare these days. Come and find out how great original music can be in a superb setting.

Take your seat before 7:30pm and be part of an audience that gives music the attention it deserves.

For Performers

If you write your own songs, this is your stage.

The evening follows an open mic format, open to all songwriters — with one key rule: original music only.

You’ll perform in front of a genuinely attentive audience, in a space with excellent acoustics and professional sound, giving your songs the best possible setting.

We supply Shure SM7B microphones on professional grade stands through a Yamaha board and Peavey speakers, all mixed and balanced for each performer by a qualified audio engineer with over 20 years experience. You’re going to sound great.

Each performer will have the opportunity to play at least three songs subject to time limits, so bring your best work.

We video all performances and record audio direct from the mixer. All performers will be sent copies of these videos and recordings along with photos of their performance at Songwriter Evening. We will include these in the Showcase section of this website along with links to your social media and streaming services, where applicable. In addition we aim to promote you and your songs through our social media channels, giving you exposure well beyond the Evening itself. We do not charge you for this service. We will ask you to sign a simple Agreement to allow us to do this and to protect the copyright of your songs.

The Evening

• 7:00pm – Performer registration (tea and coffee available, donations gratefully accepted)
• 7:30pm – Music begins (please be seated)

This isn’t a pub or club environment — there are no distractions, no talking over performers — just a room focused on songwriting.
