Hello! There’s a truly eclectic mix on offer at The Hothouse this Summer, a treat for people who like their music live and in an intimate venue. After a beautiful support set last year I am delighted that Rozi Plain is returning, her album has been a sure fire winner for me so hearing her live again will be lovely. She plays the day before our new festival - That Spring Thing - when, as well as daytime events, we welcome back storyteller Gary ‘Gacko’ Bridgens and fun time band Red Hippo for an early evening gig. The Catch the Wind Kite Festival in July will take over the prom with music and visual delights before coming back to The Hothouse for a night of folkNroll from Holy Moly & the Crackers. Come and dance the night away. Finally the More Music Young Leaders invite you to share their success and Arts Award achievements in a week of music and celebration in July. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Artistic Director, More Music.

9Bach
Plus support Twelfth Night Sat 14 May | Doors 7.30pm 9Bach are a Welsh language folk roots band, their sound is an atmospheric, evocative and emotional hybrid of folk tradition and contemporary influences: an often languid wash of guitars, bass, harp and harmony vocals with subtle use of technology, adding loops or dub effects. Their current album Tincian is solidly rooted in the mountainous mining landscape of the band's native north Wales and won the best album award at BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2015.
