Join us for a night of words We're hosting a night of wonderful poetry courtesy Adam Horovitz from Stroud a and newcomer Teddy Maxwell, discovered at our very own Open Mic.

Adam explores the natural world, compassionate farming and Britain's agricultural landscape are central to Adam Horovitz's poetry. He was born in London and bred in the heart of Cider with Rosie country, where he still lives.

Friday sees one of my fave local poets @aahorovitz from Stroud, in the vein of a fave author Laurie Lee, Adam is inspired by his natural surrounds. Adam explores the natural world, compassionate farming and Britain’s agricultural landscape are central to his poetry. He was born in London and bred in the heart of Cider with Rosie country, where he still lives. I have seen him recite before and his words and delivery are 👌

In support is an Open Mic discovery Teddy Maxwell. Remember his 11 minute monologue recited from heart last month? Well if the truth be known it was that event that made me want to curate this night so here we are, two brilliant writers on the stage here in The Hayloft.

Teddy’s writing is influenced by a range of experiences. Ten years of working in frontline social support services - homelessness, addiction, sexual violence and human trafficking - has taken him to the social edge as a witness of the suffering of some of the most marginalised. This has inspired a strong belief in the power of community and collective identity in bringing about positive and long lasting change. His love of English history, the countryside, music, and his hopeless romanticism, are all recurring themes in his work.

We will also be inviting three local poets to perform (tba).

Waiting for Alfie presents The Blue Moon Collective - a choral group led by Alfie Hickson and featuring singers and musicians from the local community and further afield.

This is an evening of alternative choral songs featuring original music, unique arrangements and carols like they have never been presented before in Westport’s lovely United Reformed Church.

Whatever your belief, music brings us together and this unifying night of tenderly brought together songs and music is unlike any other choral group you may have heard in Malmesbury before. Join us to welcome the festive season the Westport way.

Drinks and mulled wine are available as takeouts from The Three Cups Inn who are co-presenting this night and there will be seasonal mince pies just to add the right amount of Christmas to proceedings.

The Cups will also be operating a pre-order service for the interval.

Jaz Delorean, travelling songwriter, pianist and voice of Tankus, loves to unravel the big stage performance and revisit how songs were originally sketched out, in the solitude of the riverboat he lives on, around a campfire or on a found piano in the recesses of a theatre somewhere on the road.

His sound incapsulates a life of movement and obsession with mid-century music & literature, stride piano and balladic storytelling.

For years, Delorean has gathered eccentric and captivating musicians and set out on the road to bring the original Tankus sound to countries across the world, playing in cities from New Orleans, to Tirana, and most places in between. A regular fixture at Glastonbury Festival, they have also appeared at Montreux Jazz Festival, Boomtown Fair, Stuttgart and Modena Jazz Open, and WOMAD, to name just a few. Jaz Delorean occasionally releases solo albums and EPs in-between the Tankus catalogue.

Logan Metz (Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, Willie Nelson) is a songwriter, educator and raconteur based in Wisconsin. His songwriting spans many genres, from jazz and rock to folk and country, but it’s all marked by artful chord changes, a character-centric narrative style, and a wry lyrical wit rooted firmly in the Tom Waits/ Randy Newman/ Leon Russell school of piano-based storytelling.

During his seven-year stint as a multi-instrumentalist for Promise of the Real, Metz had the honor of playing with Neil Young, Stephen Stills, Joe Walsh, Jimmy Buffett, Eddie Vedder, Warren Haynes, Robby Krieger, John Densmore, Bob Weir, and in 2023 began playing piano on tour with Willie Nelson himself.

Now, ten years after releasing his solo debut, “The Last Remaining Payphone in L.A.” (2016), Metz is hitting the road again, in advance of releasing his long-overdue second album, the first singles of which — “Sunrise” and “Overrated”—are now streaming everywhere.

After a magical time opening for Tankus across the UK earlier this year, Metz is stoked beyond measure at the prospect of returning for this groovy dual-piano tour with frontman Jaz Delorean.

On this tour they’ll be onstage together, with two pianos (their own), guitar, accordion, and a vague but groovy plan.
