We return from the Summer break on Saturday Sept 11 with Rachel Harrington and Rod Clements. There are only a few seats left for this so book now to avoid disappointment!

Unfortunately Bob Rafkin has had to cancel his UK tour at the last minute for health reasons but we are very lucky to have folk-blues duo Fran McGillivray and Mike Burke to play in his place.

You can watch videos of complete songs in YouTube format from all our recent concerts on the video page.

There is now an Acoustic Routes Facebook group.

We don't run open mics but we recommend Cambridge Acoustic Nights who run open mics in CB2 basement on the Saturday nights that Acoustic Routes is not on.

  Acoustic Routes was started by singer/songwriter Bernard Hoskin in 2001 to present a wide range of non-mainstream music in a small concert setting.

The concerts take place in the intimate basement at CB2 restaurant near the centre of Cambridge and present some of the finest local, national and international performers around. The music covered includes singer/songwriters, acoustic guitarists, traditional folk, blues, and Americana.

It has established a reputation as one of the finest small venues in the country and has featured performers such as Nizlopi, Martyn Joseph, Boo Hewerdine, Chris Difford, Christine Collister, Benny Gallagher, Clive Gregson, Phil Beer, Clive Carroll, Hank Marvin, Seth Lakeman, and many more.

We don't run open mics but we recommend Cambridge Acoustic Nights.

The other members of the team are Clare Freeman and Peter Foster.
