Bright Lights in Dark Days

Songwriters in a one-off alliance

What happens when you challenge a group of indie musicians to put together a full concert in a single day using each other's music? That's exactly what the Bright Lights Sessions explore.

After more than thirty editions with around a hundred musicians, they know for sure: every concert is different. But there's always great chemistry. A unique cross-pollination of energy, inspiration and guts.

Special edition: Bright Lights in Dark Days

Imagine a cosy winter evening: the power has gone out, but luckily you have ten fantastic musicians visiting.

In the dim light, you gather close together in a circle, and the night fills with music, stories and unexpected magic. Perhaps a whirling dervish will suddenly appear, or you'll get the chance to sing along yourself... Warmth, light and musicality in the darkest time of the year.
