The brilliant Alex Hart is back and hosting four special shows this year at Patchwork Studios bringing top quality music to the heart of the rame peninsula. 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!
Doors at 7pm
Music starts 7.30pm and finishes 10pm. This is a seated performance.
Patchwork Studios operate a diverse and inclusive programme of creative events. From firm festival circuit favourites, undiscovered local acts fresh on the scene, and underground DJs from across the region, to some of the most exciting acts smashing into the national limelight; you’ll find it all up at Maker Heights. These events vitally support our rural community offerings, helping us to improve social integration, while also celebrating culture and inspiring creativity.
Between April and October, camping is available separately via Maker Camp website. Our Tavern within the venue is open until late during show nights, dishing out all the finest local tipples to keep you hydrated, plus Garrison Gallery are often serving up a storm of cocktails within their magical art-adorned walls next door. Lil Pizza Heaven are usually parked up on site on a Saturday evening too to keep you fuelled.
Why not make a weekend of it while you’re here? The Canteen opens at 9:30am the next morning for coffee and breakfast, and during the camping season, you'll find delicious homemade scran to keep your bellies full into the evening, over by the campsite entrance. The twin fishing villages of Kingsand and Cawsand are only a short walk away, as are their lovely beaches, and the Southwest Coast Path runs straight past too.
