The BIG Bang!! Beng!! Bing!! Bong!! Bung!! is an opportunity for singer-songwriters who are new to performing, new to town or trying out new material to have a play on a good stage in front of a friendly audience.
‘Bangers’ (as we affectionately call them) play up to five songs each (twenty minutes max). Original songs are preferred though not obligatory.
Playing order is generally sorted out as people arrive on the night, but Bangers can request a specific playing time beforehand if they like. It's nice if Bangers are present for all the other performers but we understand people have busy lives.. Do what you can.
Bangers should get ready to perform (batteries checked, guitar tuned, hair brushed etc.) before their playing time. There’s a lot of acts to get through and taking up a lot of time in set-up is bad form. Very complicated set-ups are also frowned upon. The Bang is about giving the songs a hearing and getting used to performing in front of a crowd. Trying to achieve sonic perfection with multiple instruments/effects/backing tracks etc. is for another type of event. It's also important to exit the stage with all your equipment as quickly as you can.
If you’d like to play at future BBBBB’s, please email [email protected].
There is also an open mic for bands, Band Beng Bing Bong Bung. Email for details.
