Layston Music - Events

One of my favourite things about teaching music isn’t actually the music itself.

It’s watching people discover what they’re capable of, finding their confidence and sharing what they’ve learnt with other people.

It’s also why we’ve ended up creating so many different things through Layston Music.

Lessons, our Shindigs, Sing for Your Supper, the Vocal Lounge, and now our Acoustic Showcase & Open Mic nights.

They’re all a little different, but the idea behind them is much the same.

Music gives people something to share and a reason to get together.

An evening dedicated to live music, discovering local talent and giving musicians of all ages and experience levels the chance to perform in a friendly, welcoming and supportive space.

Whether you're a seasoned performer, a singer-songwriter finding your feet, a young musician building confidence or someone who's always fancied giving an open mic a go, we'd love you to be part of it!

🦇 SING FOR YOUR SUPPER – SPOOKY SONGS & DARK DRAMA 🎶

Things are getting a little darker at our next Sing For Your Supper…

📅 Tuesday 6th October

📍 The Chequers, Barley

🕡 Doors open 6:30pm

This month we’re heading into the shadows for Spooky Songs & Dark Drama – an evening of haunting melodies, dramatic anthems, gloriously gothic tunes and songs with just the right amount of Halloween weirdness.

SING FOR YOUR SUPPER – BRITPOP & BEST OF BRITISH!

Our next Sing For Your Supper is coming to The Chequers, Barley on Tuesday 1st September, and this month we’re celebrating some of the very best music Britain has given us!

BRITPOP & BEST OF BRITISH

We’re also delighted to welcome guest vocalist Stuart Nicholson, who’ll be performing live while we enjoy supper. Supporting and showcasing local singers and musicians has become a really lovely part of these evenings, so I’m particularly looking forward to introducing Stuart to you all.

If you’ve never been to Sing For Your Supper before, you do NOT need to be a singer!

This isn’t karaoke and nobody is asked to sing alone. We sit together around the tables, lyrics are provided via QR code, and I lead the whole room as one big group.
