Green Man Acoustic. What does that mean? (61* d) RE: Acoustic. What does that mean? 02 Aug 13


We run a festival which is acoustic. We don't use P.A's and all the venues are quite small. The quality of performances is usually very good and audience participation is the norm.

We had a very good venue with a sound stage which was also very good, but the best bit of the festival even when we did have that facility was 'The big sing' in a circular room with a domed roof with no mikes. The harmonies would raise the hairs on your head and bring tears to your eyes in the most enjoyable way.

When the local council decided to sell the land to developers to build yuppy homes on they closed the Greig centre and it has stood for three years unused despite being a great venue.

We changed our main venue to a hotel and consequently downsized all of the concerts with the result that we don't need amplification although occasionally we do see a portable amp.

Acoustic as regards music is usually understood to mean un-amplifed and we now promote ours as a truly acoustic festival.

Its not for everyone but we like it.
