OUR STORY
​We’ve been at the forefront of Nottingham's emerging musician scene, pioneering live performances by local and up and coming jazz, soul, RNB, hip hop, indie and folk artists. Our legacy includes being the first performance, first Nottingham performance, or first live band performance of many successful artists.
​
Acoustickle is synonymous with supporting artists to reach audiences, collaborate, and cross-pollinate across genres. We've put together acts that go on to gain BBC airplay, get signed to record labels and tour internationally - like Chai & Ben, Alex Mighten and Jack Wolff, and MELONYX.
We've also hosted events in Manchester (Band on the Wall), Birmingham (Acapella), Leicester (Brick & Bream), Derby (Blacksmith's Yard), and have provided artists to venues and festivals across the UK.
