About Me

Calmer* is a DIY promotion team. We put on shows packed full of the best sounds, experiences and performers in the whole wide world. Articulate acoustic angels, back porch drawlers, melancholic folk sirens, hungover hillbillies, smoking jazz queens, experimental electronicas, burlesque beauties, whisky drinking bluesmen, piccolo playing pixies, circus whores and so much love it's sometimes quite painful.Calmer* is somewhere articulate with new and innovative acts, somewhere reflective that dare not follow the mainstream. Somewhere that takes a chance of the two.Here to bring the antidote; a real alternative. Here to bring acts that we truly love to the most wonderful, respectful audience. Here to put Cheltenham on the map. Here to promote independent promoting, where beauty and belief outweigh cash and all its dirty madness.Experimental, acoustic, alternative and always, entertaining acts.
