ABOUT US
One of the inspirations behind Acoustic Nights @ The Barn is to introduce high-quality independent music at an affordable ticket price reaching out to the local lively community. The Barn concert buzz is an intimate gig aiming to attract the local neighbourhood and wider community creating an opportunity to make social connections and
interact with others in an informal, friendly and entertaining environment.
“Empowering Musicians; Engaging Community” is the music moto of the Acoustic Nights’ promoter Alan Gibson
Eating together is one of the coolest parts of the unique atmosphere where food and ethically sourced coffee is available prior to and at the concert interval.
The Barn Coffee Shop, based in Meanwood, an inner suburb of Leeds, love to see community activities and groups meeting in the coffee shop and exist to see loneliness reduced in the local area. Volunteering opportunities and
training and work experience placements are available for local individuals including: young people, people with learning difficulties, those seeking work/returning to work, and the older generation looking to keep active. As a
social enterprise, they give all their profit to help local community projects.
After covering overhead costs the Acoustic Nights door money is given to the artist as they depend on income from live performances to finance their expenses and music vision.
