Southern Fried Groove Queens

Fresh from the fryer of the UK’s Deep South. Southern Fried Groove Queens are a Mississippi Hill Country/Delta inspired duo, featuring Lee Hall on Guitar/Vocals & renowned Blues drummer Lucy Piper, daughter of the late Blues musician, Julian Piper ‘one of the UK’s foremost champions of African-American blues’ – The Guardian.

Cooked to perfection using a traditional recipe passed down through generations, we provide that heavy heart thumping kick and grooves that will make you want to move.

The duo play their take on the likes of old blues masters: RL Burnside, John Lee Hooker, Robert Johnson and many more. Formed in 2021, they have already played at many of the UK’s leading Blues and Jazz festivals, taking audiences by storm.

With Lee’s unique haunting vocals, energetic slide playing, and Lucy’s infectious hypnotic drumming, they’re not to be missed. Be prepared to get down and ‘juke’ with them!

If you caught them at Rattler Fest you know you are in for a treat! £5 otd or with your £3 locals card.

Why do some women seem to sail through menopause and others really seem to struggle?

Why in the UK do women suffer far worse symptoms than in other countries?

Ayurvedic practicioner Viv Clifton has eased through her menopause years which she wholly puts down to her Ayurvedic lifestyle.

Viv states that you don’t need to adopt an Ayurvedic diet or make huge changes to how you live your life, but she can give you some really useful tips plus her own view of why so many women are struggling with what is a natural transition in life.

Please come along to this workshop if you’d like to learn how you can avoid such a difficult time, reduce hot flushes, gain control of your weight, feel more grounded and embrace this important
time in your life when a whole new world of inspiration, creativity, vision and wisdom can start to open up before you.

Relaxed atmosphere, coffees, herbal teas, wine and like-minded women : )

100% Original Showcase

It's our first 100% original showcase!

If you want to experience new original music, hang out with musicians, support local creatives and generally build an original scene here in Cornwall then you know where to be (plus you'll know where to find it every month!). It's free entry and the venue is a corker so be there or be a miserable rotting mullusc...

Our first lineup is:

[ ] Breather
[ ] Longtide
[ ] The Regalos
[ ] Nell Davies

The glorious team at Whiskers have given us a home so that we can all come together under the banner of original music. It's all about bands supporting each other, building a community and giving more than you take. Together we can make this a success... separated we'll all just sit at home streaming cartoons and eating crisps...

The original music scene in Cornwall has been on its arse so this presents us all with an opportunity to play in our home county, hang out with other musicians and politely rail against the rancid entropic claw of covers and tribute acts

Cybernetic Witch Cult is a psychedelic rock band that has returned to the music scene after a two-year hiatus. With a fresh lineup and an exciting new musical direction, they are poised to take the world by storm.

With influences like King Gizzard and Thee Oh Sees, Cybernetic Witch Cult's music can be described as a whirlwind of distorted guitars, pounding rhythms, and captivating vocal harmonies. Their sound is a sonic vortex that transports listeners to another dimension. The band's live shows are nothing short of spectacular, with visuals and stage presence that complement their sonic assault.

Cybernetic Witch Cult's music is more than just a series of songs; it's a journey. It takes the listener on a trip through the realms of psychedelia, often touching on themes of mysticism, technology, and the unknown. Their lyrics are as enigmatic and immersive as their sound, making for a holistic experience that invites fans to lose themselves in the music. Everything they do is laced with a playful tongue in cheek attitude
