Welcome to Hove’s Most Intimate Concert Venue
Yes, it’s our knocked-through front room, and we’ve been hosting exceptional live music in it for over 10 years.
Coming Up Next
Sunday March 29th
Christina Alden & Alex Patterson at 7.30pm
Christina Alden & Alex Patterson are multi-instrumentalists and songwriters from Norwich. Their music is rich with intertwining harmony, sensitive accomplished musicianship and a creative song-writing style that is both delicate and moving. Deeply inspired by the world around them, they have a keen environmental eye to craft stories with the natural world at its heart, reflecting on the relationship between humans and the wild.
They’ve toured extensively in the UK and Europe; including a twenty- three-date concert hall tour with Show of Hands (including Union Chapel and St David’s Hall Cardiff), a show at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall for Celtic Connections, headline and main stage performances at some of the UK’s most prestigious folk festivals and performances in Norway, Belgium, France and Ireland. They have written and self-released four albums, composed music for a BBC Radio 4 documentary series and have had over a million streams on Spotify.

“Gorgeous harmonies and lush melodies…a beautiful album that transports the listener to wild landscapes and wild lives” – BBC COUNTRYFILE

Our Story
There we were, sitting in Hove, lovers of music but too lazy to go out. So we thought ‘why not use our newly-knocked-through front room to create an intimate space for musicians to perform?’. They can play their songs, sell their CDs and make a few quid – while we can bask in their reflected glory like the fame-whores we are. Mmmm…
If you’re new here, then welcome and we’re pleased to meet you. We tend to pick up new people as new guests grace our little ‘theatre’ in the heart of Hove. Take a look at the How it works page to find out more about the mechanics, check out Past Guests to see some of the amazing artists we’ve been lucky enough to host; and then don’t forget to get in touch direct to reserve your seat for the next show – Get in touch.
Coming Soon…
Well, to be honest, we don’t yet know who’s going to be treading the boards next at Hove’s most intimate concert venue – but if past experience is anything to go by…they’ll be worth the wait. Do check back here over the next few weeks when we’ll be announcing our next guest and – who knows? – even who might drop by over the summer or autumn…

Show Of Hands
In a clear break from tradition, we hosted this house concert barely two months after our previous one – and on a Thursday night. But the chance to snaffle this ground-breaking acoustic duo was too good to miss. In front…
