Since 2019, Touchstone is our home, a place where we create and facilitate a dialogue between audience and artists. We strive to be a community. Now and then we have guests organizing something at Touchstone.

We don’t receive fundings and work with a system where the guest artists contribute 40 euros to Touchstone and can keep the income from the tickets, of which the price they decide on themselves. Touchstone provides the space, equipment (amplifiers, piano, drum kit, PA system, etc.) and one of us is always there to host and help the artists around with anything they might need throughout their visit.

Indeed, that amount is not enough to cover the rent. However, we want to make it possible for everyone to afford playing at Touchstone and make some profit. Our recently launched and growing newsletter and social media channels will notify Touchstone’s friends and audience of upcoming events.

If you are looking for a grand stage with a huge audience, a bar where the beer flows abundantly from the tap and the audience can have a nice catch-up with friends while the artist is playing background music, Touchstone isn’t the jam. Are you looking for an intimate stage with a living room vibe where a direct exchange happens between the performers and an attentive warm audience, this must be the place.

 

In principle, our criteria are: original material and/or improvised music.

We are absolutely open to great ideas for events we haven’t yet thought of ourselves. If you would like to present your work at Touchstone or have ideas about something that would be great to organize for our community, please contact us!
