GHT Lates: Our Atlantic Roots and Millie Watson
Join us for an evening of local talent, art, heritage and street food after hours.
Part of a series of late night events, GHT Lates is an opportunity to explore the building by night while enjoying live music
Musicians / Artists Performing:
Raised by festival traders, Millie Watson spent her childhood summers travelling around the UK festival circuit, bunking off school to kick off the season at Glastonbury. A big old soul, right down to her bones, Millie’s music is deeply imbedded in folky roots. With her silky voice and husky tones she plays a range of melodies for the hopeless and hopeful.
Newquay based indie-folk duo ‘Our Atlantic Roots’ are fast becoming one of the most popular artists in the South West, as well as having a dedicated and growing fan base around the world, with features on some of the biggest indie-folk channels and playlists. The American-British duo have had airplay on BBC Radio 2, BBC Introducing and they have shared the stage at festivals with the likes of Passenger, Tom Odell and Ward Thomas. Their songwriting is honest, poetic and reflective and has been praised by industry professionals; from Nashville-based hit songwriter Mark Cawley, to local folk legend, Geoff Lakeman. Originating in North Carolina, the duo creatively blend roots music with cinematic instrumentation, leaning into more traditional sounds for some releases and merging genres such as indie-pop or americana for others.
Local Food Truck
Plus we’ll be joined on the night by The Chilli Chain, serving homemade, slow cooked beef and vegan chilli with nachos, chilli dogs, plus some very tasty chilli based ‘specials’
Exhibitions
When you’re not listening to the bands, take the opportunity to explore God’s House Tower after hours. You’ll have exclusive access to our permanent exhibition, The Stories Behind the Stones. Soak in the history and take in the rooftop views of Southampton’s Old Town.
In the gallery, we’ll have our newest exhibition, Ripe Blueberries, showcasing the work of 12 graduate artists navigating their first few months out of university, a part of our six week progamme of exhibtions from emerging artists in Southampton.
