Clive has created a sound world all his own, with a signature blend of warmth and humour that belies his dazzling technical skill. Clive's masterful compositions feature influences mined from the delicate cadences of Elizabethan lute classics, the imaginative eccentricity of Frank Zappa, visionary classical composers such as Bartok and Ligeti, and hints of jazz and Delta blues! He has toured and worked with guitar greats such as John Williams, Tommy Emmanuel, Xuefei Yang, Ralph Towner, and John Renbourn. Total Guitar Magazine includes him in their Top 10 Best Acoustic Guitarists of All Time. This promises to be a very special evening in the company of one of the guitar greats.

Catrin Finch, world-renowned harpist, performs Notes to Self, a series of reflective and deeply personal new tracks she has composed for Katy, her 13-year-old self, and her first album of solo compositions in a decade. Each composition draws from her past; a 40-year career as one of her generation's most adventurous and pioneering artists. Catrin's last appearance at the Tolmen Centre in October 2024 (together with violinist Aoife Ni Bhriain) was a triumph, so don't miss this opportunity to see her again - or for the first time if you missed it!

Neil and Hilary (Dalla) and Piers and Joe (RIB) will play separately and together, looking back on their respective journeys and immersing their audience in a sense of place.

A Sons of Town Hall show is more than a concert, it's an immersive experience unlike any other. American songwriter/author David Berkeley and British songwriter/producer Ben Parker are the men beneath the hats in the transatlantic folk duo. They're also the stars of the hilarious radio-theatre podcast series Madmen Cross the Water. Sons of Town Hall is creating an entirely new performance genre: Part live concept album, part performance art, the pair conjures their timeless mythic universe under the aliases Josiah Chester Jones and George Ulysses Brown, 19th-century vagabonds who travel the world in a hand-built boat to escape troubled pasts and search for adventure and love. The Sons weave wild stories between their heartbreaking and rousing songs, taking audiences on a deeply imaginative trip every show. For fans of Simon and Garfunkel, Tom Waits, and Monty Python alike, concertgoers are uplifted and inspired, transfixed and transformed, in awe of Sons of Town Hall’s harmonies, and drunk on adventure and the tragic beauty of the human condition.

We welcome back the exciting young company known as The Voloz Collective with their new show REDACTED In association with Carn to Cove Redacted is an adrenaline-fueled odyssey through America's most absurd manhunt one epic chase scene stretched across time and space, where secrets, shootouts, and sheer dumb luck collide in spectacular fashion. Marnie's pursuit of the truth propels her from underwater escapes to outer space showdowns, from the boulevards of Paris to the deserts of the American Southwest, plunging her deep into the myths of small-town America. What makes us cling to the stories were told Why do we fight to unearth the truth, even when it threatens to upend the world as we know it Voloz Collective's newest show unravels our obsession with truth how we hunt for it, twist it, and why we believe even when it isnt real. When facts slip through the cracks, conspiracy theories rise not just to deceive, but to feed our need for meaning in a world that rarely makes sense. Praise for Voloz Collective's work: 'Physical Theatre at its most immaculate' ★★★★ Scotsman 'Theatre at it's finest' ★★★★★ BroadwayBaby 'Leaves you wanting more' ★★★★★ BroadwayWorld The theatrical equivalent of a well-crafted Netflix thriller ★★★★ WhatsOnStage Cafe Tolmen will be open for pre show suppers - must be reserved by phoning Barbara on 01326 340630
