Nottingham-based Acoustickle was the first live performance of Jake Bugg, Yazmin Lacey, MELONYX and other well-reputed acts, plus the first Notts show for Akua Naru, Tiana Major9, Jaz Karis and more. 

Over the years they have hosted well over 1000 live performances at venues big and small, including Old Market Square with The Spiegeltent and with Green Hustle Festival, The Arboretum with Notts Green Festival, and a range of independent locations.
