LightGarden’s genre-defying music has world, folk and traditional influences, in many moods. Their original songs and music combine intricate guitar, harmonium, bouzouki and fiddle interwoven with the harmonic bell-like sounds of overtone chanting to produce a unique, uplifting, unexpected and irresistible sound "for which the word beautiful might have been invented" (Stirrings).

“...a seriously magical set of original acoustic music; captivating throughout.” – Venue, Bristol.
“Pan-European folk and acoustic...inner space and outer. Fiercely original but very friendly.” - The Bell, Bath 2017
“Lush – in a good way.” – audience feedback.
"...the versatility of LightGarden's unique sound is nothing short of astounding and we haven't even mentioned the heavenly harmonies yet!" - Musicport Festival 2017

The Friday Night Blues Jam is an invitation to join in and play 'the blues' as part of a band. You can bring your instruments along, sing or just enjoy a drink and tap along to the groove!
All levels of ability welcome.

Join is at Warner's Court, Charfield (GL12 8TG) for one of Shakespeare's best loved comedies.

It is November 1918. The Great War has finally come to end, and the men of the British military forces are returning to their homes.
Don Pedro and his comrades are coming at last to Messina (a little known village on the edge of the Cotswolds) where they are met by friends, old and new.
Join us this summer, as we visit one of Shakespeare’s best loved comedies. From the dastardly Don John, to the daft Sergeant Dogberry, ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ will bring you revellers, rascals and romance.
Featuring the very best of the Bard’s wit and wisdom, the fiery Beatrice gives Benedick, the bache-lor, a battle of words to remember, and true love is at its sweetest as Claudio falls for his darling Hero.
Dig out your hampers and load up your picnic bags for Rain or Shine’s twentieth anniversary, as the people of Messina find love, scupper mischievous plots and celebrate new found peace across the world!

Please bring your own picnic and seating.

Grounds open 4:30pm, play starts 6pm.

Advance tickets also available from Fish out of Water Gallery, Long Street, Wotton Under Edge or online, below.

Ticket prices on the door: £18 / £15 (conc) and £10 children.

We are delighted to welcome Wotton Silver Band to Under the Edge Arts this Autumn.

Wotton Silver Band was established in 1894 as the Abbey Band based in Kingswood. It has served the local community throughout its long history, most visibly on Remembrance Sundays, but there is so much more to the band...
Competing every year at the West of England Brass Band Championships, under the guidance of current Musical Director Ian Dickinson, they were promoted to the First Section in 2016 for the very first time - testament to the high standard of their performances. They then went on to record their inaugural CD, "Legacy".
The band's concert repertoire is hugely varied including arrangements of classical compositions, film scores, musicals, jazz and pop, to original works for brass band.
This concert will feature everything from stirring themes to foot-tapping tunes and beautifully tender melodies.
