🍂It’s official – Autumn is here, and everyone at Alphabetti is delighted to be welcoming in the leafy, scarfy season with our latest programming announcement.
We’re all incredibly excited to be hosting so many unmissable nights, to help makes those long cold evenings just a bit warmer. 🍂

The Unthanks in Winter at the Glasshouse last night was beautiful. Interesting to hear them mix in different instruments (sax and electric guitar/bass). Vocals were amazing as always and the Glasshouse has th best acoustics of any venue I’ve ever been to

Had an excellent night seeing Tony Wright of Terrorvision doing acoustic songs and telling stories. Someone needs to grab him for a podcast or radio show if they haven’t already

Love Lightning Seeds last night, but wish they didn’t feel the need to do three lions at the end of every show. So many better songs they could do and they audience suddenly Jekyll and Hyde into lairy idiots
