Cabaret Voltaire. Cultural events: mostly music, but sometimes poetry and other things Welcome! Willkommen! Bienvenue! By day we paint pictures, teach children and build walls.

But by night our records jostle uncontrollably for attention, knowing that soon they will be spinning in a tent, forest or club. Arms flaying and hips swaying; bodies sweaty, dancefloor heavy. Musicians, artists and philosophers - come! Leave your troubles at the door, hear the call and enter the Cabaret Voltaire...

We had such a fun night on Saturday, the first Cornish Bank Comedy Club which was a sell out. Tom Rosenthal shared new material with a funny and charming headline set. Thanks to all the performers: Tom, Mimi, Paul Hilyeard, and Kathy Rivett.

I started a comedy club, as if I need more commitments. And it's sold out! July edition announced this week.

Oh my, some lovely folks are opening concerts over the coming weeks:

Ergo Schmidt this weekend for Butler, Blake, and Grant. My pal Jo (session player and cider maker) is in the duo; you might have seen him in Sam Lee and Midge Ure’s band.

Serene songstress Lucy Wylde supports Hayden Thorpe on 19 June in the Barrel House.

Natalie Wildgoose - for fans of Molly Drake and Bridget St John - is opening for Jake Xerxes Fussell in August.

She’s wistful, enigmatic, and Scottish too: Rachel Sermanni is performing in Totnes. I think it might be the first time but I’m not sure. But I am sure she is a very talented musician and songwriter, who will appeal to lovers of Sam Lee, Rozi Plain, and Fionn Regan, if you came to any of those concerts.

Tickets are now on sale from the website or Narnia Totnes.

Daniel Inzani played with his band in The Barrel House last night. The music was enveloping: vast and spiky and sheeny. I went on the door and chatted a lot. It was hard taking photos, as I was having to do both. Daniel’s hair and the microphone kept getting in the way as well. Everyone was impressed, and sometimes I wondered if they were surprised to be impressed. Ben and Tracie looked all perky about it all, darting about the room nodding and smiling. I realised I have known Daniel for ages, booking his different bands for festivals and nights, so I expected it to be that good.

I was in Bruton last night, where I put on Hejira in the very pretty church. The band was great; Hattie the singer gives it just enough emotion, but never too much. The arrangements were creative so the music goes on and on. I invited my school art teacher, Claire. I sat next to her at the front when I wasn’t running errands or taking photos. She loves Joni - even the 80s stuff with gated drums and stabby vocals that everyone else skips. She’d be enthusing about her when we were painting cubist pictures or whatever it was that day. I wasn’t in to it until a few years later, so I’d brush it off, then hide her cups of tea, and instead we’d listen to a Belle and Sebastian cassette of all the EPs that my sister made me.
