Wondering how to help the bands you like?
We produce all our own merch! Three albums on CD, the newest ones on vinyl, cool tees, hats and pins. Play it loud, wear it proud, and show the world you are part of the Tankus story, because we could not do it without you and your friends.
It is far from a walk in the park at the moment - gigs dropping out all over the season, temporary line-up changes and cancellations due to the global situation. When you buy something from our store, it makes a huge difference and allows us to keep doing what we do. Thank you!

Jacob & Drinkwater

Jacob & Drinkwater’s last visit to Stogumber at the Festival five years Festival’s most acclaimed performances, so we are delighted that they are back at the start of their forthcoming nationwide autumn tour for a special performance at St Mary’s Church, Stogumber, on Saturday 14 August at 7:30pm

The Duo has been called “stand out new folk” by BBC6 Music with their live show described as “intense and spellbinding” by Folk Radio UK. The duo formed in 2014 playing their first gig together at the iconic Glastonbury Festival.

Singer-songwriter Tobias ben Jacob first received wider acclaim as part of The Roots Union with BBC Folk Award winners, Edgelarks, including playing live for the BBC at Maida Vale Studios and recording in Nashville, Tennessee. He has toured extensively and had several releases including the 2017 album ‘A Polyphonic Life’ . Tobias’ songs have been featured in the documentary film Beating The Bomb and in the feature film Tomorrow.

Lukas Drinkwater is rightly referred to as “one of busiest musicians in the UK.” In demand as a producer, performer and session player in the worlds of folk and jazz, he has featured on many acclaimed albums. Recently he’s been touring with ‘AMA UK Artist of the Year’ Emily Barker, Albert Jones and the Peoples String Foundation. He has also worked with Seth Lakeman, 3 Daft Monkeys, Jim Causley, Lucy Ward, Tankus The Henge, Sam Kelly, The Little Unsaid and many more.

The duo’s dynamic and emotionally charged live show with all its energy, musical chemistryand spontaneity has drawn comparisons with the virtuosic pairing of John Martyn and Danny Thompson. Jacob's sweeping vocals never fail to captivate, delivering many a spine-tingling moment; the fluidity and precision of his finger-picking underpinned by Drinkwater's nimbly rhythmic double bass; at times sweetly soaring, haunting, percussive and driving, the layers of depth a perfect counterfoil. The added complement of stirring vocal harmonies nicely rounds off the mix.

Beaming after some beautiful live gigs of late. I feel lucky to briefly dip into communities around the country. The atmosphere in the rooms (/fields) is uplifting, heartwarming. Whole villages and towns pulling these magical events together in not ideal circs - it’s nice to be part of. 🥰

Reminds me that we’re more than just fragile bodies, us funny old humans. 👣

Next weekend I’m in Havant in Hampshire at the The Spring Arts & Heritage Centre and then over in Suffolk at Folk at the Froize. Links here:

Our festival season is off to a flying start. We had a lovely sunny slot at yesterday and today took a trip down to gorgeous Somerset for Stogumber Festival, which has to be the rowdiest church gig we've ever done! Roll on the rest of the season.
