Music & Events at The Three Cups
Budding songwriter? All levels welcome.
If you’re interested in songwriting in anyway shape or form then this is the group for you. Whether you write strictly instrumental, are a budding poet, or anywhere in between, you’re welcomed to an evening of musical performance and discussion.
The format consists of bringing something you’ve been working on, complete or incomplete. You will then perform this piece to the group then receive feedback and comments from the others present. It’s a chance to have people really listen and digest your music, rather than someone after gig saying “nice one mate”. It’s an opportunity to explore, grow, learn and teach in music discourse. There is no pressure at all to perform, you’re more than welcome to just come and join in the discussion.
Join singer/songwriter/musician, Alfie Hickson over the next 3 months as he delves into and helps expands our creativity.
January 29, February 26, April 2: Thursdays at 7.30.

What happens when you give a cello to someone who thinks outside the box? You get Philip Sheppard – and trust us, you've never heard anything like this. Philip doesn't just play the cello; he transforms it into an entire orchestra through ingenious live looping techniques, building sonic landscapes in real-time with nothing but his instrument and a few misused guitar pedals. But here's the twist – he's also one of the most unexpectedly hilarious storytellers you'll encounter on a concert stage.
This is the composer who soundtracked over 80 films and video games (including the multimillion selling Detroit Become Human), produced Jimmy Page at the Beijing Olympics closing ceremony, and somehow found time to jam with everyone from David Bowie and Scott Walker to Queens of the Stone Age and Odesza – yes, he was the cellist bringing down the house during those three sold-out nights at Madison Square Garden in 2024.
His trophy cabinet reads like a musical hall of fame: Game Audio Guild awards, Sundance Audience Award, The Webby Award, Fellowship of the Royal Academy of Music for lifetime achievement, and membership in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (the Oscars). But ask Philip about any of this, and he'll probably tell you a ridiculous story about how he ended up owning the North Korean National Anthem.
He was a longtime collaborator with his dear friend, jazz legend Keith Tippett, and has worked with icons like Jarvis Cocker, Keanu Reeves, Abdullah Ibrahim, Juliette Binoche, Sia, Suzanne Vega, and currently serves as Artist in Residence for XPRIZE – because life isn’t busy enough.
This isn't your grandmother's classical concert (though she'd probably love it too). This is what happens when virtuosity meets comedy club meets experimental laboratory – and it all somehow makes perfect, beautiful sense when Philip takes the stage.
Join one of our fave artists here in our Hayloft with a special guest (to be announced) as part of his solo tour across the UK and France.
This will be a very specially thought through evening to close February.
This will sell out fast.

Malmesbury's first Guitar Festival featuring Jazz, Folk and Progressive music.
Starting us off on the Saturday night is John Etheridge who rightly enjoys a glowing reputation throughout the jazz world and beyond and has been described by Pat Metheny as, "One of the best guitarists". He is a prodigiously gifted and creative player whose approach to music can only be described as 'eclectic' as he refuses to accommodate or even acknowledge artificial musical boundaries.He is a regular guest on Jazz Line-up -most recently a live duo set from the Bath Festival with pianist John Horler, and is often a guest on Radio3's In Tune programme.
Sunday sees a triple bill of artists from Welsh instrumentalist Toby Hay, Jazz duo Gina Griffin and Andy Christie (who you may have seen at our Sofa Sessions) and local folk outing The Picture Framers.
Toby Hay is a Welsh guitarist and composer based in the Cambrian Mountains, renowned for his intricate, nature-inspired instrumental folk music. His work, deeply connected to landscape, memory, and Welsh hiraeth, includes albums like The Gathering and New Music for the 12 String Guitar, often featuring his own Cambrian Records label.
Gina and Andy perform original arrangements of jazz standards and Hot Club. Gina's unique command over the violin, often scat singing in harmony is mesmerising and Andy's clean polished jazz guitar in the vein of Metheny and Etheridge underpins the violin harmonies perfectly. This is classic perfect Sunday music vibes.
The Picture Framers are Viv Sherman, a singer and songwriter based in North Wiltshire. Guitarist for Pack Horse Ceilidh band and occasionally other bands too. Often seen playing in music sessions in his local area. Viv also uses melodeon to achieve drones, chords and simple melodies in the songs to compliment Chez's banjo playing. The other half of The Picture Framers is Chez Dunford, an independent musician performing both self-penned and traditional folk songs. Based in Bristol and the Forest of Dean. She plays piano accordion, banjo and occasionally trumpet. Chez is a theatre maker, circus artist and community practitioner using music and story to connect people.
