Live Music : Riki Buckingham & Amir Mojazzer

We are over the moon to announce a new regular fixture at The Sheppey. Starting this month, the incredibly talented duo of Riki Buckingham and Amir Mojazzer will be taking over the pub for a monthly residency! You can catch them here every second Saturday of the month (mostly!). For those who haven’t had the pleasure yet, Riki and Amir bring a truly unique energy to the stage. Riki’s masterful guitar work and soulful vocals blend seamlessly with Amir’s precise, high-energy drumming. Together, they weave a brilliant tapestry of sounds—expect a visionary mix of soul, funk, and blues infused with everything from flamenco and jazz to psych-rock and Eastern rhythms. It’s the kind of music that doesn’t just sit in the background; it’s an experience that perfectly matches the quirky, alternative vibe of our riverside home. The Details: When: Every second Saturday (mostly!) Next Session: Saturday, 11 April Time: Starting at 8pm Where: The Sheppey Entry: FREE As always, our tables fill up fast on music nights. We highly recommend booking a table for food beforehand to grab a proper meal and secure your spot for the evening. Come down, grab a pint of local cider, and join us for what is set to be one of the best regular sessions on the Levels. See you there!

Sheppey JAM night

Unleash Your Inner Maestro: Jam Night at The Sheppey Inn! (Every Third Sunday!) Calling all musicians, from seasoned pros to enthusiastic amateurs! The Sheppey Inn is throwing open its doors for a night of pure musical collaboration, happening every third Thursday of the month. Forget structured sets and rehearsed routines; this is your chance to dive into the raw, exhilarating energy of a true jam session. Imagine a space where creativity flows freely, where melodies intertwine, and where the magic of spontaneous music creation takes center stage. We’re inviting you to bring your instruments, your voices, and your passion to The Sheppey Inn for an evening of collaborative musical exploration. Whether you’re a guitarist with a killer riff, a bassist with a solid groove, a drummer with a rhythmic pulse, a vocalist with soul, or a keyboardist with a knack for harmonies, you’ll find a welcoming space to share your talents. We’re not looking for perfection; we’re looking for connection, for the spark that ignites when musicians come together to create something beautiful and unique. This isn’t about performing for an audience; it’s about making music with an audience. It’s about building bridges through sound, exploring different genres, and discovering the unexpected harmonies that arise when musicians let go and play from the heart. The Sheppey Inn provides the perfect backdrop for this musical adventure.

Ricky Romain Plays Sitar at The Millhouse

One of the South West's finest sitar players, Ricky Romain, comes to the Millhouse for an evening of North Indian classical music - Friday 21st August 7:30 pm. Ricky began his study of the sitar in 1972, becoming a residential pupil of Punita Gupta — a direct disciple of Ravi Shankar — in Southall, London. In 1976, he moved to Devon, collaborating with the Indian Music Department at Dartington College of Art, and has performed throughout the West Country, nationally and in Europe ever since. For twenty years, he was Associate Lecturer in Indian Classical Music at the University of Plymouth. His work crosses boundaries: collaborations with jazz, rock, folk, world and Western classical musicians; school and community arts projects; and a parallel career as a visual artist exhibited widely across the UK and Europe. The free improvisation in his performances typically evolves from a slow, contemplative opening and unfolds into complex rhythmic interplay — haunting, captivating and alive. The sitar's signature sound, rich with overtone and ornamentation, fills a room in a way that few instruments can match: intimate enough to hear every nuance, yet vast enough to hold an audience completely still. The Millhouse's stone walls, steel beams and Victorian character make it a natural home for the sitar — warm, resonant, and free of amplification. Join us.
