A.M.P. Showcase: Act 2

A.M.P. Showcase Act 2 expands into a free Friday evening of emerging Island music at Quay Arts on 2 October.

Presented by Creative Island

A.M.P. Showcase: Act 2 takes over Quay Arts on Friday 2 October. The free evening programme runs from 18:30 to 23:00.

The second A.M.P. showcase expands into a longer evening programme of emerging Island music. Five hours gives the line-up space to change pace across the night, while free advance booking keeps the event open to curious listeners. The longer evening slot gives the line-up room to change pace and lets new musicians perform for an audience that came to listen. Act 2 has a night-out feel distinct from the September afternoon showcase. The Sea Street arts centre sits beside the harbour and keeps several kinds of creative work under one roof. That mix lets audiences encounter a new artist or medium without needing a formal gallery day.

Book a free place before the event. Quay Arts hosts the programme from 18:30 to 23:00, a four-and-a-half-hour run that may cover several acts. The current source does not provide performer names or set times, so attend for the showcase as a whole unless the organiser publishes an update. The Island’s live music calendar has shorter single-artist alternatives. This date works for listeners willing to take a chance on emerging talent and stay as the room, sound and line-up develop across Friday night.
