FIDDLER'S GREEN EVENT INFORMATION

Frequently Asked Questions


Where are the concerts?

The concerts are in “The Barn”behind the shop.  Look for the lit up musical note sign.  Slide the Barn door open and come on in.


Where can I park?

We have limited spaces in front of the shop and some spots behind the shop.  You can also park across the street in the parking lot at Things Celtic.  During daytime events, do not park at Brady's Lighting.  You will get towed.  Also, do not park in the neighborhood behind the shop.  You will be towed!


Can I bring my kids?

Our shows are family friendly.  Kids are welcome as long as they can sit quietly through the whole show.  Kids MAY NOT play on iPhones or Nintendo game units.  This is extremely distracting.


Can kids get in free or half price?

Sorry, but no.  The ticket prices go to support the bands who depend on gigs for their living.  We have limited seating and a kid is taking up a seat just as an adult would.


I know the band.  Can I get in free?

We're very impressed, but no.  The bands do have a small guest list, but if you are not on it you will have to pay full price.


Are food or drinks available?

We do have a cold water cooler and cups, but no food.


Can I bring my own food and/or drinks?

Yes you may, but please clean up after yourself.  We have trash cans and a recycling bin for your convenience.


What about alcohol?

You may bring your own alcoholic drinks, but The Barn is a family friendly listening room type enivironment, not a party room.  Be sensible.  It's B.Y.O.B. but if you act like an S.O.B. you will asked to leave A.S.A.P. !


Can I bring my dog?

Only if he pays full price and plays the banjo


How do I book my band?

You can't.  We don't "book" bands.  We highlight local bands that we decide would make a good show.  Occasionally we do have a touring band play here, but it's a rare exception. 


Can I show up late?

You should not plan to.  It disrupts the band.  Shows start promptly at 8pm and doors open at 7:30pm.  If you show up late you will get the "stink eye" from everyone, you will miss part of the show, and you will still have to pay full price.


When should I show up in order to get a good seat?

Doors open at 7:30pm.  There are no reserved seats.  It's a first come-first served basis.


Can I video/audio record the shows?

Assume that you can unless we announce that the band prefers you not to.  You may video record only from the back row of the room.  Otherwise everyone behind you would have to watch your little glowing camera screen, and that's extremely distracting.


What forms of payment do you accept?

Cash only.  Mainly because the bands need to get paid in cash at the end of the show.  By the way, please don't pay with a $100 bill!  It wipes out our cash!


Can I get advance tickets?

No.  We only sell tickets at the door.  Exceptions are sometimes made for workshops when the instructor needs a headcount prior to the workshop to assemble materials.


What is the seating capacity?

50


Where are the bathrooms?

There is a bathroom in the Barn.


What else should I know in advance?

Please turn off all cell phones and NO TEXTING!!  Please don't talk during the performances.
