Bookings
Music at The Little Cafe is booked on a curatorial basis, several months in advance.
Submissions are saved and considered at regular intervals, but we regret that it is not possible to guarantee a response. Note that this is a largely acoustic venue, with limitations on the volume due to the movie theatres in the same building. If you wish to submit your music for consideration, please include links to samples of your work, including something to give an accurate impression of your live performances, in an email to: music@thelittle.org
