I’m sorry to say that due to unforeseen circumstances the Willkommen day-out on July 5th can no longer take place at Charleston House. We are working on a new venue and it will still be somewhere special, not a traditional music venue, and should still be set in the East Sussex countryside. Email marcus@willkommenrecords.co.uk or keep checking back here if you’d like to be kept up to date.

We’ve been inundated with emails asking where they can buy tickets for this very exciting event on Sunday July 5th. Charleston are now taking bookings on their box office number, 01323 811626 (EDIT: sadly we can no longer do this event at Charleston, we are currently confirming a similarly special venue and will update ASAP) . Online booking should be available in the next few days.

The capacity is strictly limited and we expect it to sell out very quickly. The event will see bands performing in the beautiful Charleston barns and we should have a few impromptu acoustic solo sets around the gardens.

Charleston House was the artistic hub of the Bloomsbury Group – Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant, J.M. Keynes and many more. As the Willkommen Collective is also a group of like-minded creative people centred around the beautiful Sussex downs, we’re very excited and honoured to be playing in the Bloomsbury Group’s uniquely wonderful home.

After their packed performances at The Great Escape and Brighton Festival, The Leisure Society return to Brighton to play Communion. It’s a great club that finds its home at Notting Hill Arts Club but has recently been on a summer holiday by the sea. Also playing are Josh Weller and The Mariner’s Children – who are totally unmissable. Tickets available at Resident or on the door. More details on the Communion II facebook event.

The Miserable Rich join the fantastic lineup for our special show at The Union Chapel on June 12th – including The Leisure Society, Shoreline, Sons of Noel and Adrian, Sweet Billy Pilgrim, Laish, Rowan Coupland and Kopek.

On top of the surplus of amazing music, the whole chapel will be decorated like a forest and there will be plenty of surprises. Tickets are available here.

We’ll also soon be announcing further details and putting tickets on sale for two other very special “Willkommen takeover…” events this summer, at Charleston House and De La Warr Pavilion in Sussex.

Keep the Bank Holiday spirit alive by coming to May’s Willkommen night on Tuesday the 5th.

Support comes from our new friend Will White (myspace here) and Redwood Red (myspace here) so it promises to be a very exciting one.

Some tickets still left here.
