Performing

All are invited to come out and perform. Singers, guitarists and other acoustic musicians are most welcome. We encourage musicians of all levels of experience to perform their music on stage in front of our audience. The only guideline that we have is that you actually perform your music with your own voice or on the instrument of your choice – we are a KARAOKE FREE ZONE.

We provide a very good PA system along with microphones, direct boxes, and guitar and bass amp. We now have the capacity for drummers to join in! A modest electronic kit will be ready to go on stage. All performers are required to make use of the in house gear we provide, as there just is NOT enough TIME to drag drumkits and amp stacks on and off the stage, and leave enough time for PLAYING!

See the Gear We Have page for details.

Please make any requests for exemptions to this policy or to add gear we don’t have by email before the night you want to perform – and we will try to accomodate you.

You can submit a request to be a Featured Artist and get a block of time for a mini set!

Note
This option is only available to artists who have previously attended our event.

Ringwood Live isn’t just for musicians, we also welcome:

  • poetry and dramatic readings
  • performance art
  • stand up comedy (within limits)
Remember
We are hosted in a church auditorium and our audience is made up of all ages.
