Songs In The Dark is a night of candlelit music, comedy, poetry, art and more taking place at the Betsey Trotwood, Farringdon, featuring a host of new acts as well as regulars Jeremy Warmsley ("bursting with more potential than I've ever heard from an unsigned artist" - MusicUnderwater.com ), and Simon Mastrantone (“a thing of potential beauty” – Org Zine). It began when Richard Dark wanted a venue to put on the kind of things he likes: anything that displays independence, a DIY ethos, originality and passion. The ultimate aim is to build a community of like-minded, creative souls who genuinely love what they do, whichever side of the stage they’re on. This is not a night for people who want to sell a million records to whoever or sign a publishing deal with MegaFatHouse Publishers And Sons (ltd). This is a night for you to come and live in. You will be looked after. NB SITD is not an open mic night. Some people call us naïve, others turn up
