Cabaret Doonican's Electric Cabaret

Calling all musicians and music fans ... we need your help
Action taking place this week... Thursday 2nd July
The Agents Association have joined with CPA, National Arenas Association, and the British Association of Concert Halls to commence a political lobbying campaign which will highlight the problems the industry is facing, and to call for Government action. They are asking for financial support and a definitive timeline for re-opening.
To show support there are two things you can do:
1) Add your name to a letter being sent to the Culture Secretary by emailing [email protected] by 4pm Tue 30th June.
2) Social media action - on Thursday 2nd July, share videos and images of your last gig under the banner with the aim to get it trending. Ask your fans to also share the posts.
It is hoped that by creating noise and highlighting the importance of live entertainment, the Government will then show full support.
Protect the UK live music industry.
Please do not do part 2 until Thursday 2nd July so it makes more impact # # #

Thank you ❤️

We are sorry to announce that the next few months' Electric Cabaret's aren't going to happen due to the current pandemic. We will reconvene when it has all blown over. A massive thanks to Marcus and all the staff at the Old School House Venue for being so awesome despite all the sad times.
Stay safe people and we'll see you on the other side.

Headlining our March Cabaret, a visit from Shanghai Treason, who are taking time out of their very busy UK touring schedule to play this show... I just have a feeling these lads are destined for big things.

So, there wasn't going to be an April Electric Cabaret as Scott was busy on the final two weeks of the month... HOWEVER, we forgot that April also contains the Easter Bank Holiday... so not only are we announcing our fabulous March Cabaret, but we are announcing our Easter Special too.
In March expect another incendiary night at The OLD SCHOOLHOUSE VENUE with Shanghai Treason, The Early Mornings, The Cellar Thieves and Keiran La Fox, and in April expect more of the same explosive action with Parson's Lot, Canadians In Space, Indecision and MissUnderstood. Stick the dates in your diaries you crazy kids.

Pearson Memmott Conspiracy / Cubic / Pocketful O' Nowt

What a bloomin' good night. All three acts were superb, as we're the very generous audience. So sorry that Cobalt Tales couldn't make it. They were within 800 yards of the venue but had a tyrefiretastic issue to deal with and we will be rebooking them for later in the year. The Pearson Memmott Conspiracy kicked things off to a banging start, and Cubic kept that going. The off the wall antics of Pocketful O'Nowt finished it all off nicely. We've got a great line up for March too. Coming soon... Watch this space

Our first two acts have been awesome. Just one act to go before the end of another great night.

Tonight's awesome entertainment

Next Thursday

My sincerest apologies to The Ferretts as due to being a bear 🐻 of very little brain I had misplaced their original booking from very early this year, for this Thursday.
