When:Tuesdays and last Friday
Freedom of Expression is a mainly acoustic night held on Tuesdays at The Green Dragon in Croydon and on the last Friday of the month at Christ Church in Gipsy Hill. Every other week we have an open mic session from 8-10pm and then two featured acts playing for half an hour. The other weeks (and the Friday shows) we have four featured acts. We've been going since 6th June 2006 and have the advantage of a top sound guy and a great performance space at both venues.
The shows are hosted in a mildly amusing, if slightly rambling, fashion by Tim Eveleigh and We try to book "the very best of acoustic music from around London and further afield".We also to encourage musicians, comedians, poets and magicians along for the open mic session and we've had people from all four of those groups along to perform. We're particularly pleased that a growing group of quality comedians are coming back to perform for us.
We have an online archive of videos from past performances so that people can see what to expect and we've recently launched an online radio station playing songs from the people that have played at Freedom of Expression. Both are mercifully free of the incoherent mumblings of your genial host.
You can watch and listen to these on our website, which also contains listings for all past and future events, profiles for each artist that has played at Freedom of Expression and links to youtube videos from some of the earliest performances. You can find us at www.freedomofexpression.co.uk.
We also have the obligatory myspace, facebook and reverbnation profiles. If you'd like to be kept fully up to date then you can join our mailing list. There is a signup form for this on the website. The venues also have their own websites (and myspace, and facebook...) at www.greendragoncroydon.co.uk and www.gipsyhill.org.uk.
