Southwest Hotel / The Maisonettes @ Golden Lion Tap

FREE event!

Join us at the Golden Lion Tap for a night of original music with 2 local powerhouse bands!

Southwest Hotel create rich tapestries of sound infused with gliding guitars, hypnotic rhythms and intimate lyrics. Behind haunting cellos and melodic bass lines is the influence of the Devon landscape. Overlapping guitars like the clashing fractals of leafless trees and dynamic peaks and valleys, tors and riverbeds. Southwest Hotel explore genre in creative and exciting ways, taking influence from shoegaze, post-rock, folk and popular music from the decades.

These events are supported by Flourishing Barnstaple, a North Devon Council initiative funded by the Cultural Development Fund administered by Arts Council England.
