After the overwhelming success of the Hotwells Festival 2021, the festival's spirit of celebrating words and music has continued to thrive as a monthly event featuring local poets and bands always on a Thursday this month on the 16th. We are excited to host our monthly celebration at the Grain Barge again.

In the lineup for you are some fine local poets, among them Mina, and the return of the explosive 3 piece band "Second Wife" (Content not child friendly!) and ending of course with the Fabulous Hushpuppies and DJ Mel

Entry: 5 GBP (pay on the door)


Hailing from Bristol, UK, Second Wife is a trio making a big impact in the music scene with their unapologetic and energetic brand of folky pop punk. Their clever wordplay and comedic timing, reminiscent of Flight of the Conchords, and feminist punk attitude, reminiscent of Bikini Kill, make them a force to be reckoned with. Their lyrics are a unique blend of satire and celebration, tackling societal norms, the "fit dad bod", and their own quirky dating experiences. Their live performances, featuring their own bespoke and innovative instrument "The Cockenspiel", are a must-see experience, bursting with energy and dynamic performances that leave a lasting impression. Second Wife continues to push boundaries and make a lasting impact on all who encounter their music. In 2023, they are set to perform at numerous gigs and festivals as well as unveil a series of new singles.
