From June through to September, Creative Peaks are hosting a beautifully refined series of summer concerts at the Watts Russell Arms in Hopedale. Ranging from the sweet sounds of the West African kora, to the mysterious and mesmerising voices of Ukraine… from traditional English and Irish folk music, to intimate and experimental multimedia experiences, the series of concerts pulls in acclaimed and up-and-coming musicians from far and wide. Each evening will include delicious homemade vegetarian and vegan meals available to purchase in the pub.
The series of summer concerts culminates in a one-day event, Harvest Moon Fair, on Saturday 14th September, with an eclectic array of artists from across the UK and further afield: Sijya, Me Lost Me, Vikasati and Sunscuro. Have a look at the full line-up below for more information on the artists and links to purchase tickets.
Embodying the wave of fresh ideas and distinctive creative identity emerging from South Asia, Sijya’s artistic voice is a gradual rebellion against existing notions of approach, forms and styles led by her ability to strike a balance between the known and the outlier. With work that showcases a defining commitment to originality without losing upon emotionality, the New Delhi artist has emerged as one of the most hotly-tipped up-and-coming talents from the region’s alternative music space.
As a composer, producer and graphic artist, the multi-faceted talent lays down textural abstractions of her inner monologue onto musical and visual canvases alike to deliver the most well-rounded artistic offerings. Dreamy untamed synth layers and raw rhythms come together with emotion-led vocal lines creating a concoction of art pop, downtempo and ambient.
