The BIG Bang!! Beng!! Bing!! Bong!! Bung!! is an opportunity for singer-songwriters who are new to performing, new to town or trying out new material to have a play on a good stage in front of a friendly audience.
‘Bungers’ (as we affectionately call them) play up to five songs each (total twenty minutes maximum). Original songs are preferred though not obligatory – one cover song is cool, ideally either; a song by a local artist, a singalong song, a terrible song or your favourite song.
Playing order is generally sorted out out as people arrive on the night, but Bungers can request a specific playing time beforehand if they like. Bungers should get ready to perform (batteries checked, guitar tuned, hair brushed etc.) before their playing time. There’s a lot of acts to get through and taking up a lot of time in set-up is bad form. Very complicated set-ups are also frowned upon. The Bang is about hearing the songs and getting used to performing in front of a crowd. Trying to achieve sonic perfection with multiple instruments/effects/backing tracks etc. is for another type of event.
If you’d like to play at future BBBBB’s, please email [email protected].
There is also an open mic for bands, Band Beng Bing Bong Bung. Email for details.
