Our Story

Setup by some people a while ago, the idea was to get people together to play some piano.

To this day, we continue to provide the unique opportunity for people to perform in front of a small audience.

Who can join

You can come along either to play the piano or just to listen. We welcome any repetoire at any standard. Previous players have improvised or have played their own compositions and arrangements.

If you are performing, you are kindly asked to bring £5 in cash to cover the cost of the venue rental. If you are present as a listener, then you can attend entirely for free!

What happens

We simply meet at the venue and people play the piano one after the other. The atmosphere is very informal often with casual talk in between performances.

The meetup usually lasts just over an hour. After the meetup, much of the group heads down to the quay to have a chat all things piano in one of the nearby cafés.

Where we meet

We are located in central Exeter. The exact location for an event varies but our most common one is the Cygnet Theatre.

Although based in Exeter, we welcome anybody from outside the area; in fact, several people travel into the city on the day of the meetup.
