Alex Hart Presents: Burr Island

The brilliant Alex Hart is back and hosting four special shows this year at Patchwork Studios bringing top quality music to the heart of the rame peninsula. 

Burr Island is an emerging UK-based indie-folk duo formed by best friends Tom England and Oskar Porter. Known for their close harmonies and melodic, introspective and melancholic sound, they have received praise from industry giants like Robert Plant, Paul Weller, and Pete Townshend.

FRESH OFF A TOUR WITH ROBERT PLANT! 

After recording at Kundalini Studios in Devon with Steve Cradock (Ocean Colour Scene, The Specials), their first four singles garnered support from BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 2, BBC Introducing, Radio X, BBC Radio London, BBC Radio Bristol & BBC Radio Scotland.

Recent live shows include UK Tours supporting Ocean Colour Scene and Tunde (Voice of Lighthouse Family), playing at some iconic venues, Hammersmith Eventim Apollo & Barrowlands Ballroom to name a couple. They also played to a sold out audience at Union Chapel, supporting Paul Weller as well as two sell out London headline shows.

“A special weave of voice and harmony”. - Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin)

“Shades of Simon & Garfunkel”. - Mark Radcliffe (BBC Radio 2)

“Sounding so beautiful but scathing, lyrically. What a combination.” - John Kennedy (Radio X)

Plus support! 

Doors at 7pm 
Music starts 7.30pm and finishes 10pm. This is a seated performance.

Patchwork Studios operate a diverse and inclusive programme of creative events. From firm festival circuit favourites, undiscovered local acts fresh on the scene, and underground DJs from across the region, to some of the most exciting acts smashing into the national limelight; you'll find it all up at Maker Heights. These events vitally support our rural community offerings, helping us to improve social integration, while also celebrating culture and inspiring creativity.

Between April and October, camping is available separately via Maker Camp website. Our Tavern within the venue is open until late during show nights, dishing out all the finest local tipples to keep you hydrated, plus Garrison Gallery are often serving up a storm of cocktails within their magical art-adorned walls next door. Lil Pizza Heaven are usually parked up on site on a Saturday evening too to keep you fuelled.

Why not make a weekend of it while you're here? The Canteen opens at 9:30am the next morning for coffee and breakfast, and during the camping season, you'll find delicious homemade scran to keep your bellies full into the evening, over by the campsite entrance. The twin fishing villages of Kingsand and Cawsand are only a short walk away, as are their lovely beaches, and the Southwest Coast Path runs straight past too.
