Introduction
Here in Brighton (10th year) Healthy Concerts friendly open
houses continue to build a new audience for genuinely
unplugged acoustic music.
Healthy concerts are live unplugged (no amplification) gigs
in people homes and gardens with a natural and friendly
feel.
In recent years House concerts similar to our own have
emerged throughout the U.S (see http://www.houseconcerts.com/).
where they have been recognized by artists and audience alike
as the new home of acoustic music at the very heart of an
expanding network of listening rooms. A far cry from noisy
& smoky clubs and bars!
