Live Music Lunch Club: Firelight Trio
A new regular spot for lovers of live music who prefer their concerts in the daytime, alongside a little lunch, in a relaxed environment.
Performances take place in the Studio in a cabaret set up so you can come and go during the music if you want to.
The ticket price includes a pre-show two course lunch from our Café Bar.
Firelight Trio is a mighty new group featuring Fatea instrumentalist of the year 2023 Gavin Marwick (fiddle), accordionist Phil Alexander (Moishe’s Bagel) and Ruth Morris (Outlander – HBO) on the beautiful Swedish Nyckelharpa.
They play European music that is evocative, inventive and endlessly exciting. Ruth’s resonant nyckelharpa is matched by Gavin’s powerhouse fiddle, all backed up by Phil’s groovily inventive accordion and piano. A rich tapestry of lively Swedish polskas and Scottish reels, lilting French waltzes, toe-tapping klezmer, dazzling original tunes and more. Don't miss them!

Sorrel Nation
Travelling troubadour Sorrel Nation brings a soulful mix of folk-rock to country and engages audiences with emotive lyrics, 70s inspired style and a voice full of soul that can truly open the heart.
2024 saw multiple new releases from Sorrel including a single featuring Steve Balsamo in May, the delicate and beautiful live EP Thirty Summers in July and the critically acclaimed debut studio album Lost En Route in October.

Tomorrow Bird
Multi Award-Winning Folk-Americana Duo.
Think The Civil Wars meets Simon and Garfunkel! Their heartfelt songs, stunning vocals, and soul-stirring harmonies have transfixed audiences and propelled their last album What Comes Next to the top of the Amazon folk chart. Their latest Album Braver Days was released last September.
Following the release of their debut single in 2017, Tomorrow Bird was named Best Duo at both the 2017 and 2018 GSMC Awards. They followed this up with their award-nominated, self-titled debut album, and 2019 LGBTQ+ charity single, Love is Love.
Their NHS charity single Not All Heroes Wear Capes - and the title track from their new album, What Comes Next - also won GSMC Music Awards for Single of the Year, in 2021 and 2022 respectively.
After debuting at number one on the Amazon Folk Music Charts in June 2022, the pair's latest album has received glowing reviews, regular radio play, and brought home the coveted GSMC Music Award for Album of the Year 2023.

Together the pair are a musical force of nature advocating for truth, hope, courage, connection and empowerment.. Shining a compassionate light on those things that too often hide alone in the dark.

Align and Flow Yoga
Led by Deborah Le Vene-Page
Align and Flow Yoga is influenced by the biomechanics and heart orientated philosophy of the Anusara Hatha style of yoga. With a specific alignment focus within the flow of postures the practice will tone and strengthen the body, improve posture and create more freedom in the body and mind resulting in a calm and relaxed state of being.
Each week there will be a different theme weaving its’ way through the session, but a typical class starts with breathing techniques to centre and ground, poses to warm up and then progresses to a fun and challenging mix of vinyasa and alignment yoga.
This class is designed to cultivate focus, stamina, strength, and flexibility. Leaving time at the end for a well-deserved relaxation.
Come prepared for an energising class that will also leave you feeling relaxed.
