Thanks to our fab sponsors so far for the 2025 Priston Music Festival 2025. More micro-sponsors @£100 would be amazing. The festival is run by unpaid volunteers and all the money raised pays for the great bands that are coming, and the other costs of staging the festival. We will also be seeking donations towards costs through the festival weekend 19 - 21st Sept. Thanks also to donors. Message us if you are interested in sponsoring, donating - or helping in other way! Also see the donate button on the website. https://www.priston.org.uk/festival/

Oh gosh - we have the brilliant The Carrivick Sisters coming back to The Priston Music Festival 2025. See them here. Festival dates are 19-21 Sept. See the website for all details.

It's hot today! We took a break from recording this afternoon and thought it would be nice to share some of the songs and tunes we like to play just for fun....

Wow - Thea Gilmore, Beth Rowley, Michelle Stodart - that is a stellar top line! We will be tyhere for sure!

The 7 Hills are ecstatic to be taking their first steps into establishing a multi-venue city music festival in our home town of Bath, across the 21st-23rd March weekend, inspired by the Great American Festivals like Austin City Limits.

This is music for all, proudly in association with Curious Minds; a festival to ignite ideas.

We’re showcasing 100 artists, including some of the finest acts in the country, and platforming a wealth of local talent: from Bath legends to local musicians as young as 6.

Get up close and personal with the hottest contemporary music as we team up with for the first time in Bath, and follow the “Black Deer Trail” for superb Americana/Roots music.

Don’t miss the chance to party (FOR FREE) with The Magic Numbers on their 20th anniversary tour as they headline with local hero Gary Stringer from Reef at our Main Stage at Green Park Station!

After putting on 10 festivals in and around the city over the last 5 years, support The 7 Hills by buying your tickets to Komedia on the Sunday and enjoy Friday & Saturday on us, our partners and the city of Bath. (Link in bio.)

A colossal thank you to all those we are working with for their generosity and ambition. It’s great to have so many phenomenal people on board making music work in Bath in 2025.

Special thanks to , , our superb graphic designers & , , .nearfield
& all our killer venues: & !

We love this band. Please support if you can!

Many of you reading this will know how tough it is to make original music these days. The odds are massively stacked against us; songs have been commodified and devalued to a point where making money from them is all but impossible.

So instead we turn to you, our fans, friends and family to keep our dream of making a killer original record alive.

We have 3 weeks left to make this a reality and if we don’t hit our target, we don’t get any of the money 😬

Even if you can spare a fiver it will go a long way and give you chance to be part of music making how it should be done: powered by the pockets of those who love and listen.

Get involved, support those grassy roots and keep music making alive!
