For over a decade, Kit Hawes & Aaron Catlow have been a distinctive and powerful presence on the UK folk scene, forging a partnership defined by deep musical connection, exceptional instrumental skill and rich vocal harmony. Rooted in the traditional music of the British Isles, their work breathes new life into centuries-old melodies - including songs collected in Somerset - while sitting seamlessly alongside original material inspired by the landscape and stories of the South West. At the heart of their sound is a timeless and intimate combination of guitar, fiddle and voices, delivered with energy, sensitivity and flair.

Join award-winning singer-songwriter Hannah Brine for an intimate evening of original music and seasonal favourites in the beautiful surroundings of the Strines Nightingale.


Dylan LeBlanc is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who often finds himself flirting with the edge -- or “dancing on a razor,” as he calls it -- as it is all he has ever known. A verdict vagabond since he was a little boy tossed between Texas, Louisiana and Alabama, LeBlanc thrives on the precipice, never staying in one place for too long. It is that nomadic spirit that drew him not only to a life as a touring musician, but also to the beast that titles his newest record: ‘Coyote.’
Southern gothic Americana music.

Wales born, Brighton-based instrumentalist Gwenifer Raymond is a celebrated champion of the finger-picked guitar. She has drawn international acclaim for her repurposing of Mississippi blues and John Fahey’s intricate Americana to embody her roots in rural South Wales and her interests in folk horror and the avant garde, inventing a new form dubbed Welsh Primitive. The Guardian has described her as a “profound talent” whilst the Observer has praised her “awe-inspiring technique and intense musicality”, and Uncut Magazine has championed her “fast-developing talents as a composer of eerie menace.”Y

"A breathtaking vocalist delivering original and beautiful songs. An incredibly gifted songwriter with a great stage presence and a gorgeous voice."
Chris Hawkins – BBC 6Music and BBC Radio 2
"Her voice is pure and lovely and she possesses a natural talent as a writer and singer."

Basically, as it stands currently ( and we are working on this with the arts council for 2027 onwards….)
We dont have specific disabled toilets. But they are ground level.
The outdoor areas are not very mobility or wheelchair friendly but we can be on hand to help!
Indoor gigs are usually fine for wheelchairs but the toilet cubicles are quite narrow.
We are really sorry for this, its a 250 year old pub going through a big transformation. Its very much on our agenda to fix this!
