Patchwork Candlelit Sessions

❎THURSDAY 14th MAY - JAMES DIXON GIG POSTONED ❎ We've had to make the painful decision to cancel this upcoming event and we want to be open with you about why. Advance ticket sales didn't reach the level we needed to confidently cover our costs and pay everyone fairly, from the artists, the promoters, the staff and everyone else running the space behind the scenes. That's the reality of running a small, independent venue - we can't gamble on the night when the overheads are already committed. It stings. This was exactly the kind of event we're proud to champion - diverse, different, the sort of thing that doesn't happen everywhere. And that's what makes this harder. We really, really need your support. Funding for the arts is pretty much non-existent - so far this year we've only managed to secure one very small grant (which we are still obviously very thankful for, but compared to previous years there's so little support around, and bidding for grants has become near impossible to win it seems). Buying tickets in advance massively helps us determine whether we can keep putting gigs on and also supports your community, musicians/artists and the local people employed by us. We'll let you know when this one will be rescheduled 💓

Next Thursday we welcome @jamesdixonmusic to @patchworkstudios for the next Alex Hart Presents the Candlelit Sessions. I try and find the BEST music to bring to the Rame Peninsula always and this night is going to be so so special. Do come along and support our vision. If you’re thinking of making it, grab your ticket early to avoid disappointment. Plus support from the wonderful talent of @kittycrockermusic - gorgeous voice. James Dixon tours regularly with Seasick Steve and is championed by him. You won’t want to miss this show. See you there!

Thursday 14th May! After a sold out show last month I’m so excited to bring @jamesdixonmusic to @patchworkstudios on the 14th May. James Dixon is an emerging songwriter self-described as Anglo-Celtic Soul. He fuses the transatlantic folk-blues of the 60s/70s revival with the power and dirt of the grunge and rock he was raised on.  Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi Allstars) described him as a “genuine Troubadour straight out of the old school”. Earning a reputation as a deeply passionate performer, Seasick Steve called him simply “the best support act I’ve ever had”. The songs James writes can tell narrow stories of immediate experience and the minor interactions between people and the natural world or give sweeping and sharp commentaries on the social and political picture. Whatever he writes about, it will always, as a rule, truthfully express his spirit, or be discarded. His guitar style has been described as “red in tooth and claw” and vocals as “powerful...gentle when needed”. Plus support @kittycrockermusic Doors at 7pm  Music starts 7.30pm and finishes 10pm. This is a seated performance. Tickets here: /events/alex-hart-presents-james-dixon-tickets-7L2GZB #jamesdixon #kittycrocker #patchworkstudios #cornwall #cornish

SEPTEMBER 11TH - SUTHERING + CHARLIE SCOBLE TICKET LINK IN BIO! DOORS 7PM Music starts at 7.30pm and ends around 10pm SUTHERING consists of Julu and Heg, whose harmonies weave effortlessly through their original songs, paired with gentle guitar and emotive piano arrangements, transporting audiences into a world of timeless storytelling. Known for their chemistry and humour on stage, they effortlessly intertwine their important messages about the state of our climate, social conscience, and the importance of community and connecting with nature. They champion female characters, creating new narratives for women and unearthing the female heroines of the folk tradition. 2024 marked the release of their second studio album Leave A Light On. Produced by BBC Radio 2 Folk Award Winner, Sean Lakeman (Levellers, Seth Lakeman), the album is a bold new direction in sound for the duo. A poignant and powerful exploration of themes affecting the social and political landscape, Leave A Light On is a collection of personal reflections, captivating stories and modern-day songs of protest and unity. In 2022, they made history by setting up the first-ever pride event in their hometown. Tavistock Pride received acknowledgment from national and local press, radio and received an endorsement from Olympic athlete Tom Daley. Tavi Pride continues as an annual event which includes a large parade and festival. Julu and Heg are passionate about advocating for the LGBTQ+ community and for the rights of women and other marginalised people, through their music and through community engagement. Plus support from the fantastic Charlie Scoble.
