Live Music #HomeToEmergingStars
If you would like to come to one of these events… (if we’ve not met) I’d like to meet or at least talk with you first.
We have no bouncers or doormen; this is my home, I want you feel and be safe, you will be introduced to whomsoever you are sat beside and everyone becomes family. This means you will be surrounded by like-minded souls in this extraordinary venue; it ensures a safe environment, for you, your partner, you children, your friends, where some of the most extraordinary emerging World class musicians perform original music…and we listen, in silence…that’s the deal.
It’s intense and uniquely special.
The shows go live at 8:15 pm (20:00GMT) so ideally arrive at 7:30 pm so we can get you seated and there is a home cooked meal as part of the show, included in your ticket. If you are struggling to pay the full price, I am happy to accept an offering.

Adult prices are £25 if booked one week prior to the event; if booked in the week of the event £30.
Concession 70+ £15 if booked one week prior to the event; if booked in the week of the event £20.

4th Ninety One Nights and The Strange Valentines
Blend the heart of an ‘80’s Australian rocker with the soul of a maritime kitchen partier, and you might get a sense of the brand of ‘folk music for the twisted soul’ that is the duo, The Strange Valentines. Now based in Canada, they are in demand and playing extensively out of Saskatchewan venues and festivals over the past 2 years, the duo has built a steady following. Their strong melodies, soulful stories, quirky humour, and rich harmonies, has been described as if the Kinks jammed with Fleetwood Mac using only acoustic instruments in a folksy type backdrop.

“Hanna has written music since her early teens, and her soothing guitar and soft vocals powerfully draw the listener in. For Unstruck, Hanna was able to collaborate with good friends who contributed to her songs such as Chris Lynch and Ben Berry (from Marty O’Reilly and the Old Soul Orchestra), Jessie Marks, Erin Chapin (from Rainbow Girls), Alexis Hawk (from MAJK) and her brother and classical guitarist Aaron Haas.”

Joe can count Folk juggernauts Bert Jansch and Davy graham became fans and shared the occasional bill together on what was then a bourgeoning acoustic revival. Here On This Frontline (2009) saw Wilkes fine-tune a politically conscious European folk identity. Looking For The Grave of Garcia Lorca came out (2012) If the previous two records hadn’t already then this album set Wilkes apart from the rest of the acoustic artists, stealing lines from Victor Hugo, eulogising Lorca and not delivering a standard museum piece. 2018 sees the long awaited release of Japanese Elvis; a collection of mainly piano songs, suicide love ballads and cryptic political forebodings.”
