Last Sunday Gig... 25th July
Maelstrom… A rare collective of arresting firepower from some powerful and talented musicians. While tunes have long been the undisputed strength of Irish roots music, its the natural varied rhythms of the music that are a force seldom tapped to fully complement its built-in melodic cadences. Maelstrom wrings a wealth of this from the subtlest of tunes. It plumbs the poignancy of the haunting Gaelic airs and it unmercifully belts the daylights out of rollicking reels with a near-primeval kick-arse you'll rarely hear. Read more »»

Coming concerts at Harvester Moon
Winter is here and we have been celebrating the recent rains, the solstice and looking forward to hopefully "normal" weather patterns this spring. We will be very busy soon pruning the lavender again in readiness for spring and summer flowers. The gardens will look amazing this season and those who have booked weddings here at HarvesterMoon will certainly appreciate the hard labors of our garden staff.
We have some great acts booked for our winter season...come and join us for a warm cosy night of world class music, great food and award winning wines. Read more »»

Banjo and Bluegrass Workshops this Sunday April 18th
The March workshop was a lot of fun. We had a double bass and guitar added to the mix which made for a great sound. Along with six banjos the sound was quite awesome!
These workshops, hosted by banjo players Mark Wardle and Peter Somerville are helping along the skills of the players involved. With the added support of a dedicated web site, players can hone their skills between workshops at a pace to suit themselves. Read more »»
