The fantastic haunting voice of Jemima Thewes tells fabulous and unique tales of longing, loss, love, life, death and everything in between.
Jemima and her band create an enveloping and deeply textured fusion of dark songs and bright, deep rhythms. Jemima’s songwriting is inspired by the folk ballad tradition, and layered with grit, tenderness, mischief, humour and wisdom. These cloud-hopping tales are told by warm, powerful vocals and carried on a bed of heavy, playful percussion and strings. With lyrics and melodies that creep up and catch you unawares and beats that get you moving in spirit and body.
Jemima’s debut album “Calling” is out on 9th July with the label Last Night From Glasgow, she is collaborating here with Tim Lane (Hidden Orchestra) on the percussive time lines and Jem Le Lievre on Bass face. A surprisingly big and beautiful sound from such a small team. The effect of this music stays with you long after you have heard it.
Have a listen!

Letham Nights…
Letham Nights began in December 2008. Our vision was to bring high quality music to our village hall and provide a stage for local talent. At the same time we wanted to promote sustainability and work towards creating a zero carbon village hall. 8 years and over 80 acts later, we have drawn in an audience which now averages nearly 100 in our 120-capacity hall. We have supported hall improvements so that we now have double glazing, better insulation, renewed wiring and a new efficient boiler. The events are renowned for their high quality music and the unique, warm and friendly atmosphere. We really do put on THE BEST SMALL GIGS IN THE WORLD!
