Here's our live music schedule and more details about the artists:
● Friday 1 August: Iris Lee Symons
Iris’ music is rooted in her experiences of girlhood and transition into womanhood with themes of love, friendship and intimacy. Her work has been compared to artists like Kate Bush, The Last Dinner Party and Mazzy Star and her love for music of all styles has resulted in a combination of folk, indie rock and alternative pop with a twinge of blues. She performed a set at the Boardmasters Festival in 2024.
● Friday 8 August: Elio
If Pisces was a musical genre, Elio would fit the bill. Equal parts vulnerability and irony, their original music is straight from the heart and strives to form a deep connection with the audience. They will be performing a selection of new songs from their upcoming album, and a few covers for old time's sake. For fans of Big Thief, Angel Olsen, Hiatus Kaiyote.
● Friday 15 August: Kate Hall
Kate Hall is a Plymouth-based singer/songwriter blending soulful vocals, piano-led pop, and indie/R&B influences. Her debut single Take A Minute aired on BBC Introducing, and follow-up Helpless was Track of the Week. In 2024, she began performing with a full band, opening for Fickle Friends and the Happy Mondays. Described as “one of the region’s finest” by the Plymouth Herald, she’s a rising voice in the Southwest music scene.
● Friday 22 August: Jon Fazal
Jon Fazal is a Devon-based singer-songwriter whose evocative blend of indie, folk and baroque pop weaves poetic tales of escape, longing and everyday life. Praised for his ‘delicate intensity’ and ‘poetic perceptions,’ Jon’s music has earned airplay on BBC Radio 2, 6Music and BBC Introducing, marking him as a distinctive voice in the UK’s contemporary folk scene.
● Friday 29 August: Calvin Thomas Calvin Thomas is a singer/songwriter from Plymouth who has been involved in a range of musical projects over the years including folk, punk, blues and more.
