Lansdowne House Concerts

To book a concert with us, please e-mail directly to: pmm@unb.ca. To reserve seats for a concert, please e-mail directly to: pmm@unb.ca. Our concerts are what we like to call "listening" events where the audience has a chance to hear every note and every word the artists produce. In fact, we specifically ask guests not to talk during the performance except between songs. In that sense, it differs from a house party in that the primary purpose is to listen to the concert. It is a relaxed and casual atmosphere where we have lots of interaction between the artists and the audience. There are two 45-minute sets with a 30-minute intermission. We ask for a fee of $15 and all the money goes to the artists. We usually have around 30 to 40 people. People are encouraged to ask questions of the artists between songs - usually there is a lot of story telling leading up to each song. We are listed on www.acousticroof.ca and that is how artists contact us. Concerts usually start at 8 PM but everyone arrives around 7:30 PM and that gives us time to get everyone settled. We provide chairs for all (some HC venues do not and people actually take cushions!). We also provide glasses for drinks that people choose to bring or plates to serve snacks. Usually people bring something to drink and a snack to share at the intermission, but that is optional. We often do a two-night gig with one concert at our house in downtown Fredericton and a second at another house
