House Concert

Have you a special occasion coming up that you would like to celebrate with a few friends or would you just like to create a very special event ?

House concerts are informal concerts, usually in people's homes, where 20 or more people can sit comfortably to enjoy an intimate concert. Its a great way to bring Almond to your area for a personalised concert apperance.

Your Activities

The venue, must be pet and smoke free and quiet,  where 20 or more people can sit comfortably. It could be your home, your garage, or the local community centre, or village hall, meeting space, or outside in good weather.  

You find 20, or more, music-loving guests, who make a donation of  around  £10 - Chf 30   per person. 

(Depending on the distance from Almonds base and the number of people this may need adjusting to allow for the travel costs)

Almond has his own PA System but with small groups it is not necessary, so if the group gets a bit bigger than say 60 he may require electricity for the amplifier.

You may wish to provide drinks and snacks for the audience, or tell them to bring their own. 

If the concert is a long distance from Almond's base he will need a place  to stay over night, hospitality in a private home, bed and breakfast, normal hotel...... or if you are very rich a 5 star hotel is also acceptable ! 

You inform the guests, before they come to the concert, that there will be Almond's CD's for sale, if people don't know this they might not bring money to buy them.

Call up your friends and be enthusiastic,  send invitations out, asking for positive responses, the best is to issue a ticket to people and at that time collect their donation, 

You can also choose to open up your house concert to the public,  may be Almond has some fans who live near you might advertise on local radio or newspapers.

Almond will entertain and sing for two hour sets, or a bit more, with his acoustic guitar. He will also advertise the event on his website, if you would like this. He can also provide some artwork for printing up some handouts and posters. Almond will split the donations and give 17% of them to you the concert organiser.
