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!
