Jo and Mike’s versatile set promises to captivate you with new songs from Jo’s forthcoming third studio album complemented by tracks from her extensive back catalogue, all mixed in with their quirky take on songs by artists such as David Bowie, Kate Bush, The Mamas and Papas, The Police and lots more!
I'm really looking forward to this one!

Happy Friday everyone!! 💫

On this day next week I’ll be releasing my third album ‘One Way Mirror’! 😁

We’ll be celebrating and playing every track from it (plus loads more!) at the wonderful The Elm Tree on 14th June!
Come and join in the fun, we would love to see you! 🎶 🍻😊

News from the Elm Tree garden! A slug nibbled into this leaf while it was tightly curled up, and now it has unfolded, there are rows of evenly-spaced holes.
The plant, a canna lilly, is now thriving, but the slug's reign of terror is over.

This will be a good one! New to the Elm Tree!

By lucky chance, we got some more of this fine stuff, just in time for the beer festival! Absolutely delicious and rarer than rocking-horse poo!

A real bucket-list beer, available at the Elm Tree this week!

After a really full schedule this month, June's programme is much more sparse! All three are well-worth coming along to, in three very different styles - and entry is free-of-charge, as usual.

See you soon!

There was an error in the May listing I published a couple of weeks ago.

Sunday 24th is a performance by George Breakfast, not Soloman Smith and Chris Newman - their gig is now on the 16th of August. Sorry for any confusion.

Here is the correct lineup for May.

We're making the back yard into a nice beer garden! We've cleared away the empty casks, put a shelf along the wall, and got some stools. Coming soon: flowers.
Ideal for an afternoon pint now the sun is here!

Here is next month's line-up of live music at the Elm Tree! It's a really busy month, with five Sunday evening gigs, plus - the only time he could fit us in - a Saturday afternoon song and story event with Alan Daniel Tobin as he passes through the east of England.

We also welcome back many brilliant musicians who have played here in the past, and a newcomer to the Elm, Miguel Zambujeira performing his own modern folk-inspired songs - I really can't wait for this one!

Hope to see you soon!

Next Sunday we've got this great gig coming up! Always a pleasure to welcome these three talented singer-songwriters to the Elm!

I'm putting down my crochet hooks (for a little while) and preparing to return to our little home away from home The Elm Tree! Romy Gensale, Jo Ash and I are back to do our thang...we plan to make you laugh, cry and think "what the hell are they talking about now?!"! Names out of a hat will determine the order in which we play. Sunday 19th April - hope to see you there :-)

This week’s spotlight The Elm Tree, Cambridge
The Elm Tree in Cambridge, is a must visit pub for any beer lover. It’s a proper candle lit back street establishment with one of the largest selections of Belgian beers in Cambridge and a perfectly curated list of real ales.

Often showcasing some of the finest local (and further afield) musicians it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a pint of our “Pass The Porter” and soak up the local and welcoming atmosphere. Next time you visit the City, make sure you stop by!
