It’s just a week until our next Letham Nights with Jemima Thewes on Saturday 20th August (more of that below) and we thought that in our current circumstances it was important to be clear about our ticketing decisions…
Tickets and the cost of living
As a not-for-profit voluntary organisation, Letham Nights operates on tight margins, seeking to provide our audience with high quality music and a rich, cultural experience. We are committed to supporting our musicians financially, giving them a decent wage for the art that they share. So it is always appreciated when those who can afford it, pay the full price.
Concessions
For over 65s, unwaged, students or those with a disability we offer a concession price. For families we offer free entry to under 12s.
Still too expensive?
We are aware that even with these concessions, some people will not be able to afford to attend.
Please get in touch with us if this is you, and we can discuss a ‘pay-what-you-can’ entry fee.
Contact details are on the home page!
Letham Nights #67 – Jemima Thewes
Saturday 20th August 2022
Doors 7pm
This event is supported by Scotland on Tour.

Just a few more days now until we hear the fantastic haunting voice of Jemima Thewes with her fabulous and unique tales of longing, loss, love, life, death and everything in between. If you haven’t got your ticket yet, HURRY UP!! You’d be daft to miss out!
Tickets are available from Eventbrite or from the Scotland on Tour website
OPEN MIC!
We are opening the evening with a number of open mic sets. 10 minutes each – and a fee for each performer! There are still a couple of slots available so if you fancy giving it a go then please get in touch using the contact details on this page. We’d love to hear from you!
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!

Green Arts Initiative
Letham Nights is a member of the Green Arts Initiative, an interactive community of Scottish arts organisations working to promote sustainability and reduce their environmental impact – a perfect fit for Letham Nights!
Run by Creative Carbon Scotland and Festivals Edinburgh since 2013, the Green Arts Initiative supports Scottish arts organisations to be at the forefront of growing an environmentally sustainable Scotland.
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!
