About Me


Welcome to the Acoustic Stage MySpace page. Stay a while, I'll put the kettle on and tell you a little bit about us.
Acoustic Stage began when one woman decided to put on an open mic night in a disused function room above an out of the way Cambridge student pub.
Skip to today and Acoustic Stage is now a small team of dedicated individuals and friends who have so many fingers in so many pies that Simple Simon would be driven crazy by the thought.
If you haven't heard of us never fear, check out our pictures section for a selection of flyers and posters of past and current endeavours. We currently put on bands and artists at 5 venues in Cambridge, UK. We are also responsible for the production and programming for Pink Festival Ladyfest Cambridge, Stage 3 at The Cambridge Rock Festival, and Willow Stage at Rhythms Of The World Festival in Hitchin.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

We would most certanly like to meet you. If you have any interest in joining our troup as a stage manager, stage hand, sound or light engineer, musician, venue or friend then get in touch. We require volunteers for every role to help us grow. In return we promise free extensive training in all aspects of sound, light and event management plus entry into any event we host and best of all the tea and biscuits are on us.
We currently organise events at The Boathouse, The Box Tree, The Bakers, Legends Bar and The Bath House in Cambridge, as well as production and programming for PINK FESTIVAL, LADYFEST CAMBRIDGE, Stage 3 at CAMBRIDGE ROCK FESTIVAL and The Willow Stage at RHYTHMS OF THE WORLD FESTIVAL .
We are always looking at starting new projects and finding ways of helping up and coming artists. If you need gigs, help, advice, equipment hire, pa hire drop us a message. If we can't help personally we'll try and put you in the direction of someone who can!
We are a very green friendly organisation so please send any gig requests via the myspace or email, we don't think it's necessary to waste valuable resources when you can simply use the power of the internet to demonstrate your skills (plus the post round here is a bit rubbish)
All other enquiries of any sort please email: us

[email protected]

Music:

We can also provide PA hire to bands and artists, from small vocal pa's to larger systems. Email [email protected] to enquire.

Heroes:

Our dedicated Crew, without them there wouldn't be any gigs! So thanks to Jim, AJ, Sean, CJ, Phil, Jacqui, Graham, Tom A, Adrian, Zak, Steve, Tom T, Virginnie and everyone else who has lifted a speaker, coiled a cable or sat on the door!
