The Wagon Shed Tour at The Bedford, London

Live In The Living Room Gives Back 2026 – The Bedford, London

Doors: 11:30am | Music from 12 noon

Live In The Living Room Gives Back returns to The Bedford in Balham for a full day of acoustic country music, songwriters’ rounds and storytelling, raising money for Meningitis Now.

The one-day charity mini-festival brings together a wide selection of independent country artists, with the music running from midday into the evening. Rather than a traditional concert format, much of the day is built around writers’ rounds, giving artists the chance to perform their songs acoustically and share some of the stories behind them.

The event has a particularly personal connection to Live In The Living Room creator James, who almost died from Meningitis B when he was 18.

The Wagon Shed Tour

The afternoon includes a special appearance from The Wagon Shed Tour, bringing Rebecca Richards, Guy Surtees, Mr Paul Adams and Sammie Soravia together for a guest writers’ round from 2:00pm–2:45pm.

The Wagon Shed Tour celebrates the storytelling tradition at the heart of country music, with the four artists sharing the stage, performing their own songs and talking about the stories and experiences behind them.

Their appearance at The Bedford forms part of a wider 2026 Wagon Shed Tour, but this London date is incorporated into the full Live In The Living Room Gives Back charity event.
