Live Music Events Page #HomeToEmergingStars ….Scroll down for dates
If you would like to come to one of these events… (if we’ve not met) I’d like to meet or at least talk with you first. Why?
Well, we have no bouncers or doormen; this is my home, I want you feel and be safe, you will be introduced to whomsoever you are sat beside and everyone becomes family. This means you will be surrounded by like-minded souls in this extraordinary venue; it ensures a safe environment, for you, your partner, you children, your friends where some of the most extraordinary emerging World-Class musicians perform their original material…and we listen, in silence…that’s the deal.
It’s intense and uniquely special. Ask anyone who has performed or been here.
So, here’s the plan. Turn up at 730 pm….food is served shortly after you arrive.
The music starts at 8:15 pm (20:15 GMT) so ideally arrive at 7:30 pm so we can get you seated, watered and fed; there is a home cooked meal as part of the show, included in your ticket. If you are struggling to pay the full price, talk to me, I am happy to accept an offering.
Tickets prices:
Adult prices are £30 (Early-bird tickets-if booked one week prior to the event £25)
Concessions (70yrs+under 25yrs) £20 (Early-bird tickets-if booked one week prior to the event £15)
Under 10’s FREE come for FREE..however add £4 for food, if they wish to eat.
And here’s an EXTRA incentive to book ahead.
Book two or more dates and save £10 on the second (or additional) date (so just £20)
…and pay just one week before each gig.
Like all rules, there are exceptions. If the nature of your work or circumstances prevent you from knowing your availability until the last moment, you must have at least expressed an interest in coming to a particular show by email beforehand to avoid paying the higher price.

Tom is a 15 yr old songwriter, already working with Sony, writing and collaborating with some serious names. Introduced to me by Simon Cansdale, Tom is a prolific writer, and will undoubtedly have a career in music, he’s too good not to. He can play and sing too. We have so much talent for you in this show, it can only shine brightly as a night to remember, not least because the boys are back…yes, TKP, The Kings Parade. They are absolutely loved here at The Drawingroom, now in their fourth year of supporting us.
With a series of festivals this summer and a massively successful tour across Europe under their belt, they just get better and better. Hardworking and totally dedicated to their craft, their songs are strong and their delivery whips up their audiences where ever they go. Catch them at BURYFields as well.

said: “When I first heard Francesca I was amazed that it was so rich, as if she lived life for years, her tone was so smooth, she sounds amazing”.
Francesca has long been a favourite of mine at “The Drawingroom” ; She has a massive voice with an extraordinary range; think Lana Del Rey, Amy Winehouse…and given that she is so young, you will be astounded at her songwriting and live performances. She has performed here a number of times since the age of 12.”
