Band of Horses come back to the coast soon!!!

Alternative country and rock outfit Band of horses played a feast full of songs in front of a packed crowd on Friday night and they did not disappoint. Having only released 3 albums (including one Grammy nominated) they played a jam packed set full of shimmering melodies and heavenly endearing guitar parts.

Crowd favourites The Funeral, No Ones Gonna Love You among a host of other stand out tracks were enthusiastically welcomed by the crowd, echoing the vocals. The Encore duet of Evening Kitchen concluded and excemplified the true natural talent of these musicians. Please come back to the coast soon!!!

Patti Smith wows audience in an unforgettable performance






Punk legend, wordsmith and artist Patti Smith, met and indeed exceeded all expectations for her one-off show at the DLWP last Friday. With only one other UK show this year taking place in London, this performance had the added bonus of including music as well as her astounding poetry, and her appearance at our prized south coast venue is one that won't be forgetten.
You could hear a pin-drop during 'Wing' and her hair-raising vocals drifted across a spell-bound crowd for 'Ghost Dance'. For the encore she urged the crowd to stand up and come to the front, then blasted out 'People Have the Power' and unexpectedly ended with her classic version of 'Gloria', much to the pleasure of the crowd.
