Planned for Melverton Drive, Hallam
Come for the music, stay for the jam
Ten showcase nights a year and one very big day, starting once the doors open in mid-2027. Every act on every bill comes from Casey or the south-east.
Ten nights a year
Last Friday
The live room, the house PA, a hundred and twenty people and the roller door open to the street. The idea is a gig, a party and a staff meeting for the whole south-east music scene.
- When
- Last Friday of the month, ten nights a year
- Room
- 120 on the floor
- Entry
- By donation at the door, members and under-18s free
- Ages
- All ages until 22:00, 18+ after
- Acts
- Paid from door donations and the artist fund, split evenly between everyone on the bill
How a night will run
- 01
Doors
The roller door goes up, the kettle and the esky come out, and the live room fills from the back.
- 02
First-timers
Two short sets from people who have never played a stage before. Fifteen minutes each, and we hope the loudest reception of the night.
- 03
Three local acts
Thirty-minute sets from bands, producers and songwriters from Casey and the south-east, mixed by our engineers on the house PA.
- 04
The headline slot
One act closes the night, ideally with something nobody has heard yet. Once NVCBLE Records signs its first artists, this slot is theirs.
- 05
Open jam
Backline stays up. Anyone who brought an instrument gets on. This is where we want the collaborations to start.
Coming up
Dates are announced closer to opening. Get in touch now to be on the first bills.
Annual
Under One Roof
The plan: once a year, clear the building, put a stage on the hardstand out front, and give the whole south-east a day off. Twenty acts across three stages, food trucks down Melverton Drive, and a finale where everyone who played comes back on at once.
