Open Circuit is the live arm of Earth Monkey Productions

It was set up to promote live experimentation & collaboration between artists and to celebrate experimental, electronic and improvised music and sound art in performance. We are currently having a break from concert promotion but will be back at some point in the future and definitely putting some one off performances together.

We have put internationally renowned artists on all over Cumbria - including village halls, schools and concert halls as well as taking Cumbrian artists around the UK and internationally.
