Sock Monkey Sessions Presents Tea and Folk at The Arts House
See event details

A gig held at The Arts House on Saturday 2nd September. The event starts at 18:00pm.


A wise woman once said, if you put all your problems on your washing line and everyone else put their problems onto their washing line, you would always take down your own washing. I know I would because all my washing is socks.

That woman was my mum.

She taught me the joy of sock monkeys and had enough odd socks for 365 days of the year (for a monkey with one leg).

Sock Monkey Sessions Presents Tea and Folk...

10pm - The Joyous and charming, Ukuladeez

Songs about 'magic beans' and 'antique roadshow blues' on ukuleles by charming ladies, what more could a monkey ask for? On a whistle stop tour, The Ukuladeez and their recently released E.P, Cosmic Tea Party, are making a welcomed stop at the Arts house to headline this event.

9pm - The enchanting and amicable, Pasha Finn

He's someone you thought you'd met in a dream, he's the deus ex machina of your journey. His music plays a beautiful journey, mellifluous and captivating folk. Sock monkey sanctuary.

8 pm - The ethereal gritty sounds of Francis

Imagine haunting butterflies and honey webs made into sound through melodious table tubes. Francis is a new fledgling monkey on the music scene!

7pm - The vivacious sweetheart, Lily Meuross

Lily's sweet voice plucks on the heart strings that I've woven my most whistful monkey from. Another enchanting Bristol-based singer/songwriter. Lily will be bringing us that soulful folk we all secretly crave in the monkey cave!

As part of the night, we welcome other musicians, poets, spoken word artists, and storytellers to perform as part of our philosophy that anyone should have the chance to show off their inner monkey!

For a bit of monkey mayhem, on the night we will be giving away one of our sock monkeys for the correct answer to a cheeky riddle. We will release the riddle before the night for your chance to come up with an answer so watch this space!

"The Arts House is set in a unique venue - a beautiful curved glass-fronted Victorian building right in the heart of Stokes Croft, Montpelier - the Artisan quarter of Bristol." Serving tea, coffee, cakes, food and more!
