The Lost Trades are a folk/americana trio, based in the West Country, with a cool Laurel Canyon vibe. With a sound that is reminiscent of the California folk scene of the late 60s/early 70s, their three part harmonies have been described as flawless, spine tingling and magical.
Jamie R Hawkins, Phil Cooper and Tamsin Quin formed the band just before the pandemic, which cut short their first tour. Now, two successful albums later, their live performances involve easy interchanging of instruments, including guitar, ukulele, bass and percussion. There's always a fun intimacy to the show, with the group engaging in comfortable repartee with each other and the audience like a group of old friends.
Tickets £16 including £1 booking fee added at the checkout; same price on the door.

The Winchcombe Players Present
The Vicar of Dibley
A stage adaptation by Ian Gower and Paul Carpenter
Based on the original BBC TV series
Written by Richard Curtis and Paul Mayhew-Archer
Produced by Tiger Aspect Productions
It's the mid 1990's and Britpop rules the airwaves. When the new vicar arrives in the sleepy English village of Dibley the last thing the locals are expecting is a woman. But the irrepressibly cheerful Reverend Geraldine Granger soon wins over the hearts and minds of her flock.
All of the familiar characters are here including Mrs Cropley and her interesting cuisine, Jim Trott with his vocal tics, the dippy star-crossed lovers Alice and Hugo, the colonically-challenged farmer Owen and David Horton the pompous parish council chairman.

Note that balcony seats are accessed by a very steep and winding staircase and are on church pews.

A Sons of Town Hall show is more than a concert, it's an immersive experience unlike any other. American songwriter/author David Berkley and British songwriter/ producer Ben Parker are the men beneath the hats in this transatlantic folk duo. They are also stars of the hilarious radio-theatre podcast series Madmen Cross the Water.
Sons of Town Hall is creating an entirely new performance genre: part live concept album, part performance art; the pair conjure their timeless mythic universe under the aliases Joshua Chester Jones and George Ulysses Brown, 19th century vagabonds who travel the world in a hand-built boat to escape troubled pasts and search for adventure and love.
The Sons weave wild stories between their heartbreaking and rousing songs, taking audiences on a deeply imaginative trip every show. For fans of Simon and Garfunkel, Tom Waites and Monty Pytoin alike, concertgoers are uplifted and inspired, transfixed and transformed, in awe of Sons of Town Hall's harmonies, and drunk on adventure and the tragic beauty of the human condition.
Tickets £18 including £1 booking fee added at checkout.
Cabaret style seating downstairs, church pews in the balcony. Doors and bar open 45 minutes before the show starts.
