Live Music - Acoustic Anarchy

Saturday 4th July will see some regular performers and some new come to waterintobeer for a celebration of Gillian Welch and David Rawlings' music.

The Americana legends' extensive repertoire has featured in plenty of individual sets, so we're going the full hog. The Umbrellabirds are a "folkestra", as well as being regulars at Acoustic Anarchy and will be playing a wide selection of songs.

Lou and Leo are also regulars, a duo best known for harmonies and powerful original songs, and will be doing their own take on the material. The Embers are new to Acoustic Anarchy, expect fine musicianship and a love of good songs.

Regular host Martin Howard completes the bill.

Doors at 7.30, music from 7.45.

Suggested donation of £5. No one turned away for lack of funds.

Live Music - Bity Booker & Gemma Khawaja

Album Launch Revival with Bity Booker plus special guest Gemma Khawaja

Bity Booker released her new album 'There's No Song About a Stone' on 5 June and she's delighted to bring it to waterintobeer for a special evening with performances by Bity and special guest Gemma Khawaja. 

Bity Booker is an alternative folk musician and visual artist based in Thanet and London. She is a lover of nature, animals and folklore, she writes and sings gorgeous, wistful songs channelling a lyrical folk tradition. Bity doesn't just perform songs, she casts them. Armed with classical guitar, a voice that sounds like it stepped out of a myth, and lyrics full of animals, dreams, ghosts, and forest whispers, Bity crafts a world that's both familiar and entirely her own.

Gemma Khawaja is an English folk singer, musician, and professional puppeteer based in North Norfolk. Known for her unaccompanied voice and multi-instrumental skills (guitar, dulcimer), she performs traditional British folk songs alongside original compositions inspired by folklore, mythology, and rural poetry.
