The House of St Barnabas' Culture V1

WHAT DO YOU THINK MUSIC BRINGS TO THE HOUSE?
Music brings warmth, comfort, excitement, discovery and joy to
the House. It energises and inspires us, it brings cultures and ideas
together, and helps us communicate our values and aspirations.
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR MOST MEMORABLE MUSICAL EXPERIENCE
AT THE HOUSE AND WHY?
It’s difficult to say which gigs are more memorable, as each
music event brings its own journeys of discovery and new
friends. Experiences that mean a lot are the live gigs with
Andy Weatherall, Jarvis and Gilles, and memorable early
performances from the likes of Nick Mulvey, Ghostpoet and
Kate Tempest, all of which have since grown to play festival
main stages! The Galliano reunion was an amazing once-only
experience! The live acoustic from Beth Orton was a very
special treat along with the Peven Everett Boiler Room gig.
They’re all one-off moments that are over and missed unless
one had the pleasure of being there. I guess the intimate
size of our chapel makes the experience all the more rare
and special.
Our DJ gigs too, some of my favourite people: Norman Jay, Don
Letts, Daddy G and Neneh Cherry, are all artists I’ve loved and
respected for most of my life... in effect the House has allowed
me to work with the best people I’ve always wanted to work
with, and in doing so, achieve some of my longest ambitions.
