Our Concerts
Village Concerts aims to bring quality music, predominantly acoustic singer songwriter in style, to the West Berkshire area.
All the musicians are full time professionals (most with several albums under their belts).
We do this as a community project on a volunteer basis and do not aim to make a profit ourselves. Any profit that is occasionally generated is donated to charity.
“I just wanted to say thank you again for how warmly and generously you hosted us last night.”
To welcome us with smiles and tea (with non-dairy milk!), to bring us into your home, to have made two meals for us, to provide beer and wine, and to join us for dinner - it's all truly remarkable kindness and openness. I was very touched by how well we were looked after from arrival at the church all the way to goodbyes in the car park.
"I would love to play for you again in the future,
I love these intimate gigs”
We had a lovely time, and we had such a lovely and emotional response after the gig as well. I would love to play for you again in the future, I love these intimate gigs.
“Thank you so much for having us, we had a great time.”
Thank you so much for having us, we had a great time. You're doing a fantastic job 🙂
"Such a wonderful space to play!”
Just wanted to say thanks so much for inviting me along to Purley on Saturday. Such a wonderful space to play!
And you and your team are so generous with your time to make the series happen. Please do pass on my thanks to everyone.
"Such a magical and fun night!”
Thanks again for EVERYTHING, it was such a magical and fun night! Everyone was so kind and welcoming and really the whole evening was so precious!
What a beautiful community you guys have 🙂
"All you could wish for as a touring artist”
All you could wish for as a touring artist is to have a listening attentive audience that's held in a beautiful setting, a team running the event that gives you a warm welcome and help from start to finish. With Village Concerts you get just that and more! I can't recommend Village Concerts enough. Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing you again soon.
"Nothing beats live music!"
Village Concerts offers great performances from professional artists at a friendly, intimate venue in the heart of the community. Nothing beats live music!

"We really didn’t want the evening to end.”
Just had to write to tell you how much we enjoyed last night. The quality of the music and presentation was astoundingly good and on a level on its own. We really didn’t want the evening to end.
