Do come on down to the magnificent Grade I listed De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill tomorrow (Sunday 30th August) from 3pm to 7pm for a free afternoon of Willkommen acts.
Direct trains from London, Brighton and Ashford.
If you’ve tried to check the site over the last few days you might have been unable to view content – the problems are all fixed now (fingers crossed) so sorry about those.
Please don’t come down without a ticket, you will be disappointed. Thanks to everyone who bought in advance, it’s going to be unforgettable.
It’s just a few days away and the current forecast is sunny! The doors open at 7:45pm, but I’d recommend getting down there early and spending the afternoon in the beautiful surroundings with a barbecue and a few cold beers.
Here are the times:
Marquee
The Leisure Society 11:10pm
Peggy Sue 10:00pm
Sons of Noel and Adrian 8:55pm
Robert Stillman 7:55pm
Inside the house
Alessi’s Ark 10:35pm
Pete Roe 9:30pm
Caroline Weeks 8:25pm
Here’s a link showing the bus route from the Old Steine, you get the number 25 and it takes about 38 minutes including the walk into Stanmer Park. There are regular trains to Falmer from Brighton and it’s about a 10-15 minute walk from there. Sadly the last train back to Brighton from Falmer is at 23:26 but I believe buses run all night, a taxi will cost about £10-12.
Resident is now SOLD OUT but there are currently 16 tickets left on wegottickets.com/willkommen, then we’re totally sold out. I’ll post on here if there are any tickets left on the day but it looks unlikely.
For the next Willkommen night we’ve got a fine and eclectic mix of music in store. The Hand are a duo from Bristol who play mesmeric songs on kora and banjo. They toured in Japan last year with This is the Kit (who played a great Willkommen night last November) and while there struck up a rapport with Ichi.
Ichi takes the notion of a one-man band to new heights, conjuring up fun, surprising tunes from steel drum, trumpet, glock and more.
These musical compadres have been on the road in Europe and the UK since March this year, and I believe this is their last gig together before Ichi returns to Japan, so let’s make it one to remember!
Support comes from the delightful Jo Burke (of the Mary Hampton band and Laish), who will be performing her own material.
Friday 3rd July, Sanctuary Cella, Brighton, at 8pm. Tickets are £5 and are on sale online here and at Resident Records – 01273 6060312 – and Edgeworld Records. More info here
