Live! In Barnstaple is back! Each night features a different artist at a different Barnstaple venue, shining a light on some of our brilliant local independent venues and artists across a range of genres.

“A hybrid of cabaret, R&B, blues, funk and fun…Brilliant.” – Four-star review of On The Ragtime album, R2 global folk-roots & blues magazine.
“On The Ragtime should have its place in every blues and roots fan’s collection.” – Back to the Roots, Europe-wide blues magazine
Mama Tokus is a soulful jazz singer, composer & performer working to create Collective Joy in this crazy world with uplifting words, songs & shows. Believe!
Inspired by jazz, soul, gospel, ragtime & blues, Mama Tokus puts on a great show of swing music, with Songs from the Great American Songbook – and maybe a few of her own, self-penned tunes too.
At the front of her jazz trio, she injects cheeky humour into her performances, making her shows memorable and funny for the audience, whilst harking back to sassy female performers she’s inspired by, like Dinah Washington and Josephine Baker.
These events are supported by Flourishing Barnstaple, a North Devon Council initiative funded by the Cultural Development Fund administered by Arts Council England.
