Acoustic Sessions

Acoustic Sessions Set in the Oasthouse Theatre, Rainham the Acoustic Sessions runs every other month showcasing 4 acoustic acts. Cheers, Luke

The Acoustic Sessions began in June 2014 at the Oasthouse Theatre in Rainham (Kent) and happen every other month. The Acoustic Sessions were started with the idea of creating a place where musicians could perform completely acoustic to an attentive audience: basically a venue where the music comes first. The beautiful Oasthouse Theatre has been the home of the Acoustic Sessions since the beginning

and could not be a more ideal venue with its intimate theatre space seating up to 72 people. In terms of music type at the Acoustic Sessions it is anything goes; as long as it's acoustic. At each session there will be a good mix of acts booked in so there's something for everyone, although I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy every act! Upcoming events will be posted on this page so keep an eye out for the next show! Over the years we've been honoured to have many great acts on the stage however, with all small music events of this type it is the volunteers who help out and the audience who continue to turn out time and time again that keep this event going. Your support has been fantastic and long may it continue!

We are very sad to hear of the passing of Steve ‘the Trombone Man’ Parkin. A true icon of the Acoustic Sessions. Steve first played at the Acoustic Sessions back in 2014 and went on to become a staple of the Acoustic Sessions Christmas shows with his group the Trombgnomes.

An incredible friend to so many at the Acoustic Sessions he bought so much joy and helped put the Acoustic Sessions on the map and make it the show it is today.

We will remember Steve for his incredible musicianship, his infectious personality and for always being armed with more terrible Christmas cracker jokes than any one person should arguably be.

I lose track of how many bands Steve was in over the years but it is fair to say his loss to the local music scene will be felt well beyond the Acoustic Sessions. I will be forever grateful for all the times Steve played at and came along to support the Acoustic Sessions and in particular I will always cherish the times I was able to play music with him on stage and attempt to keep up!

We love you Steve and you will always be remembered here at the Acoustic Sessions and throughout the musical community. Our thoughts are with all of your family and friends at this difficult time.
