Our community event: Tintenbar Up Front
we aim to showcase local and touring musicians, poets, comedians, dancers, storytellers... By providing a forum for artists, we are helping you give a great deal of enjoyable entertainment to the audience, as well as helping to raise money for charity. What to expect We would like to keep the performances more or less acoustic. We have a PA. But we would like to keep the sound levels low and the performance thereby more intimately connected to the audience. Less equipment also means faster set up. Usually the performers are on the stage of Tintenbar Hall quite near the audience. There are 4 microphones and a PA with plenty of space for instruments or other mics for performers who need it, and for times when there is rain (as that can be quite noisy on the tin roof.) There will be a music stand, but if you need anything else, please bring it. If you have any special needs, or if you are not able to come on the night, let us know beforehand. Sometimes we feature artists and support their musical journey with a little money donation for a half hour performance. If you would like to be considered for a featured performance, let us know. All artists have the opportunity to sell CDs if they so wish.
Music Collective Sessions Music from local and touring artists
Different from our usual Friday nights, where we have a variety of performers and raise money for charities, we also host regular concerts featuring touring and local artists whom we pay. We encourage an audience who listens.
Tintenbar Up Front is run by volunteers.
We will set up the hall, organise local publicity - on the website, email list, FaceBook, Music Collective, press, radio and posters - set up a PA, collect $, provide tea coffee and cakes, provide a space to sell CDs etc.
PA system: QSC Touchmix 16 (20 inputs) with twin 1000 W QSC K 12 speakers and Audioline 12 inch speakers for foldback. Please supply your own DI boxes (we have three.) Please check that we have enough cables if you need lots. You are welcome to set up your own amplification system to supplement what we have or stand alone.
We can also do a live recording and video of your performance.
