Acoustic Encounters - July 2026

Acoustic Encounters - Evenings of hand-woven dreams

These evenings are taking place on the third Wednesday of each month between March and July 2026, at Sheffield's historic Crookes Social Club. Each evening will feature three primarily acoustic acts playing a 40/45 minute set each, all for £10 entry. An aim is to highlight local talent, but also welcome acts from further afield.

This evening will feature

Bowers & Pluckers - A collective of instrument makers playing exquisite traditional Irish music

Zoë Gilby & Andy Champion - Bold, hypnotic and mesmerising jazz with just voice and stand-up bass

Ms Amy Birks Trio - Beatrix Players singer Amy is joined by John Hackett on flute and Matt Lumb on piano, bringing songs inspired by the Brontës and the first Elizabethan era.

Featuring - Bowers & Pluckers
