What's on in Horrabridge

Devon, England

Horrabridge sits quietly in Devon where the riverside walk offers a proper stretch of legs before you decide what to do next. We usually find a local club hosting a quiz or a community hall running a family film night without needing to shout about it. The village shop often has flyers for things like art classes or garden sales that make life feel a little less predictable. It is rare to find a Devon town with so many options tucked away in the countryside, and we are glad to pull them together here. You can catch a band at a local venue one week or join a walking group the following, all without getting lost on your phone. Near Here keeps the calendar tidy so you never have to wonder if there is anything worth doing on a rainy Tuesday.

17 April: The Banjo Boys - Part of the Film Expo South Festival

The Banjo Boys follows the rise of Madalitso Band, Malawian musicians Yobu Maligwa and Yosefe Kalekeni, who craft a banjo, a one-stringed babatone, and foot drum, creating a sound that moves audiences. Once mocked as madmen in Lilongwe’s streets, they meet Neil Nayar, a British musician drawn to Malawi’s spirit. Their chance encounter sparks a trio, propelling them from local busking to global stages like Sauti za Busara, WOMAD, and Joshua Tree. Facing visa struggles, personal tragedies—including original member Rice’s imprisonment for murder—and cultural tensions, their grit fuels joyous performances. Yobu’s pastoral visions, Yosefe’s resilience, and Neil’s purpose drive their bond. Their minimalist sound bridges continents, culminating in a 2023 world tour and a legendary Malawi homecoming. Intimate interviews and vibrant performances reveal music’s power to unite and transform.

18 April: The Latin Bridge - The second of our festival of Four World Music Concerts

The second in the series of ‘Our Music Planet’ Festival concerts is a celebration of the music from Latin America. We welcome The Latin Bridge on their first visit to Calstock Arts. It is a vocal and instrumental Latin/Cuban project that was formed in 2016 by the experienced Cuban musician Sergio Marciano Pereda. Joining Sergio (guitar/vocals) is Cristiano Rocha Assis (trumpet), Aldofredo Pulido (bass) and Yosmany González García (percussion). A dynamic and vibrant band that are always in a ‘Latin Key’, bringing the rich rhythms and soul of Latin music to life. Expect a swinging Saturday evening of traditional Cuban Folk, and from infectious dance grooves (Salsa, Bossa Nova, Rumba, Son..) to passionate Boleros ballads. “From intimate whispers to full-throttle rhythm, the band delivers a journey through sound that is both thrilling and heartfelt”. The diverse styles of Latin American music offer a musical journey through different cultures and histories, enriching the global music world with its vibrant rhythms and soulful melodies. Its roots can be traced back to the colonisation of the Americas by Spain, bringing with it European musical traditions. When blended with African rhythms and the indigenous musical heritage of the Americas, a unique and colourful music was created. In essence, the diversity, rhythm, and danceable nature of Latin music make it a much loved genre that transcends linguistic and cultural barriers.

24 April: Clive Carroll

Award-winning guitarist, Clive Carroll, is widely known for his unmistakable sound, compositions, and versatility. He has toured across five continents, bringing his signature blend of warmth and humour to breathtaking, genre-bending live performances. Carroll made his musical debut at age two as a banjo-strumming cowboy singing nursery rhymes, and went on to earn a 1st Class Honours Degree in Composition and Guitar from the famed Trinity College of Music in London. Upon graduation, he was taken on the road by the legendary “folk-baroque” pioneer, guitarist-composer John Renbourn, with whom he also collaborated over many years. He has also worked with guitar greats such as John Williams, D’Gary, Tommy Emmanuel, Xuefei Yang, Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, and Ralph Towner.

Clive Carroll’s 2026 solo concert programme features newly composed music that fuses his Irish musical heritage with contemporary vision; the darkness of a untamed landscape, wild dances of abandon, and the resonance of ‘home’. “…arguably the most accomplished fingerstylist in the world today…” – Total Guitar Magazine “one of the finest fingerstyle guitarists and instructors working today. His knowledge, technique, and passion for the art form are unparalleled” – Acoustic Guitar Magazine USA

8 May: Adrien Brandeis

ADRIEN BRANDEIS is a french jazz pianist and composer (Annecy, 1992) graduated from the conservatory of Paris. In 2017, he produced his first album “Euforia“, which had great recognition and international success. “Euforia” put Adrien Brandeis, in the spotlight of the Jazz scene, and led him to be awarded the prestigious Letter One Rising Stars Jazz Award 2018. In 2020, he wrote his second album “Meetings“, in quartet. It allows him to move towards a more modern and fresh sound. This album was selected by TSF Jazz Radio as Top 10 Best jazz albums in France. In 2022, he released in quartet “Siempre más allá” recorded in Mexico. It represents Adrien’s personal tribute to Mexico. In November 2022, he awarded the UNAC Grand Prize for New Jazz Talent 2022. After this fruitful experience, he returned to France at the beginning of 2024 and formed a band with the Guadeloupean drummer Arnaud Dolmen (featured on ‘Meetings’), joined by the Cuban (and Parisian) double bass player Felipe Cabrera and two of his compatriots on percussion: Abraham Mansfarroll or Yaroldy Abreu (depending on the track). It’s a quartet that adopts different instrumental formulas as the tracks progress (piano/percussion duo, piano/bass/drums trio or quintet with the two percussionists). In May 2025, he released his fourth album, “RESURGENCE”, marking his return to the French and European scene. A record that astonishes us with its musical maturity, scope, intensity and diversity.

15 May: Nick Harper @1930

Join Nick Harper as he tours his new album, ‘58 Fordwych Rd.‘ It is nothing short of criminal, that Nick Harper is one the UK’s best kept musical secrets. Those who have witnessed the spellbinding, one-man show will tell you this. A childhood growing up surrounded by the musical prowess of some of the 60’s most revered songwriters & musicians, not to mention being son of Roy Harper, along with 20 years of crafting songs & touring the land has spawned a truly one-off, original guitarist & songwriter who stands alone as a UK great, to be cherished & revered. Following a prolific creative chapter that has seen three studio releases since 2020, Nick returns to the setting of his father’s living room in a small flat in Kilburn, London in the mid 1960s ‘58 Fordwych Rd.‘. The flat was an after hours hang-out for the legends who played at Les Cousins in Soho at the height of the acoustic explosion in swingin’ sixties London. People like Bert Jansch, Davy Graham, John Renbourn, Paul Simon, Marc Bolan, Sandy Denny & others dropped in, to drop out, jam & try new tunes. But, all along, there was someone else there… a toddler, part of the family, inhaling the music & absorbing the vibe; Roy’s young son, Nick Harper. Many moons later, Nick invited these acoustic legends back into the room and toured this unique story to ecstatic receptions across the UK and Ireland.
