Live Music in Essex

We are looking forward to a very special restart show with THE WANDERING HEARTS on Saturday 21 August. As we are an intimate venue we have taken the decision to operate on a reduced capacity for the comfort of our guests and performing artists. To ensure artists will receive the same remuneration we are suggesting a small additional donation of £5.00 over and above the usual £15. We intend to run our remaining shows for 2021 on the same basis.

"A collection of modern day gems which leave you feeling like they have always been part of your life" Rootsy Music, SWEDEN

SEAN TAYLOR TRIO SHOW | Saturday 30 October 2021 Sean Taylor’s unique songwriting is a late night cocktail of Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen and Jack Kerouac; with a voice that is a cross between John Martyn and Van Morrison and a guitar style that sounds like an acoustic Stevie Ray Vaughan jamming with JJ Cale…His live shows fuse world class songwriting with stories from the road. “Articulate, compelling ... brilliant” ****Mojo Magazine

** NEXT YEAR** MORGANWAY | SATURDAY 12 MARCH 2022 | Delighted Morganway will open our 2022 year. One moment is classic rock and the next mystical folk, catching the attention of Whispering Bob Harris and many others in the rising British Americana scene. Their collective obsession with ‘70s West Coast rock is also met with a love of Brit Rock, folk and modern Americana. Described as “One of Britain’s most exciting unsigned bands...they are going places.”

** NEXT YEAR** LYNNE HANSON and THE GOOD INTENTIONS | Saturday 16 April 2022 | Too tough for folk and too blues influenced for country, LYNNE HANSON's brand of "porch music with a little red dirt" can turn on a dime from a sunshine, blue sky ballad to a full-on thunderstorm of gritty Americana swamp from one song to the next. She's known for her high-energy, roots guitar driven live performances. RESCHEDULED FROM 2020

**NEXT YEAR** DANNI NICHOLLS | CHARLOTTE CARPENTER | Saturday 28 May 2022 | After two tour postponements, Danni Nicholls can finally hit the road for her Hear Your Voice tour. Danni and the band extra excited to be performing songs from third studio album ‘The Melted Morning’ as well as favourites from across her critically acclaimed catalogue. This multi award-nominated artist's vibrant, spell binding performances are guaranteed to melt your heart into the soles of your boots. Her passionate delivery, captivatingly soulful voice and charmingly engaging between-song banter compel will compel you to fall under her spell.

** NEXT YEAR ** CHARLOTTE CARPENTER | Saturday 28 May 2022 | Sliding guitar licks, percussive thumps and Carpenter's own fiery, soulful vocals. A distinctly different kind of singer/songwriter sound, and one that makes for an enthralling listen.

Alternately we will on request willingly refund any donations made. Everyone keep well, stay safe, have grace (thank you Elles so well put) and please look out for those less fortunate.
