Revelations by James Mason - Exhibition Launch & Meet The Artist
Join us for the launch of Revelations, a striking new exhibition by Hereford-based artist, photographer and professional musician James Mason.
Meet James and be among the first to explore this intimate collection of bold, abstract works. It's a wonderful opportunity to discover the stories behind the paintings, chat with the artist, and celebrate the opening of the exhibition in the unique surroundings of The Globe. Make a day of it by enjoying a meal from our restaurant, and relaxing with a drink in our beautiful garden while soaking up Hay-on-Wye's creative atmosphere.
James studied art in Hereford, drawing early inspiration from the landscapes and natural beauty of the Wye Valley, where he specialised in intricate ink drawings. Following a successful career as a commercial photographer, he has returned to his lifelong passion for painting, developing a distinctive abstract style full of colour, movement and expression. His work has been exhibited in a number of acclaimed solo exhibitions, including The Courtyard in Hereford, Freud on Shaftesbury Avenue in London, and alongside works by Damien Hirst. Revelations brings together a carefully curated collection of original paintings, each one a unique statement piece bursting with colour and character. Whether you're an art enthusiast, collector, or simply curious, we'd love you to join us for the launch and experience this vibrant new exhibition.
The exhibition will remain on display at The Globe following the launch, with all artworks available to purchase.

Garden Party: Hay We've Got Worms

Ecological Film and Public Assembly
Join us for a summer gathering devoted to soil, food, community and the ecological future of Hay-on-Wye.
After our Family Activities and Community, join us between 2pm-5pm for a FREE ecological film screening followed by a collaborative discussion towards a new food-and-soil plan for Hay-on-Wye.
This aims to bring together local residents, growers, composters, community groups, environmental organisations, land workers and anyone with an interest in the wellbeing of our town and its surrounding landscape. Together, we will begin exploring the future of Hay Regenerative Soils, and what a shared food-and-soil plan for Hay-on-Wye could look like. What ecological challenges are people encountering locally? What valuable work is already taking place? What projects need greater support, visibility or connection? Where could we share resources, knowledge and practical action and what might become possible if we worked more closely together? The discussion will inform our proposed application to the National Lottery Community Fund’s People and Places programme. This substantial funding opportunity requires clear evidence that plans have grown from the knowledge, needs and aspirations of the community. By taking part, you can help influence the direction of the proposal and ensure that local experience, existing projects and potential partnerships are represented from the beginning. We want to build a plan that does not operate in isolation, but supports a connected local ecology of organisations, practitioners and residents. While we cannot promise that every idea will form part of the eventual application, the assembly offers a genuine opportunity to place your priorities on the table, find potential collaborators and help shape the work and resources we seek funding to deliver. This is an opportunity to have your say, introduce your own work or ideas, connect with others and help determine what should be prioritised. We hope the gathering will help identify opportunities for collaboration and consider how a larger, coordinated funding proposal could strengthen ecological work across the area.
Bring your experience. Share your project. Have your say. Help shape a healthier future for food and soil in Hay-on-Wye.

Emily Portman & Friends
Doors 18:00
Emily Portman is an award-winning singer and songwriter with a passion for traditional songs, hailed as “one of the new British folk scene’s most beguiling presences” (Uncut). She has toured widely for over 15 years as a bandleader, with The Furrow Collective, the folk chart-topping Sea Song Sessions, and in a duo with Leveret’s Rob Harbron. Emily was awarded a BBC Folk Award for Best Original Song and has released three critically acclaimed albums of original material that recast old ballads and fairytales into new shapes.
In 2026, Emily returns to the road with an inspired new live show previewing songs from her forthcoming solo album, Dominion of Spells, released in May 2026, alongside selected material from across her acclaimed catalogue.
Dominion of Spells marks a bold new chapter in Emily’s songwriting. Drawing on ballads and folktales, the album weaves lived experience with rich mythic imagery, charting a journey through dark woods at midlife in search of transformation and wonder. Shape-shifting selkies, fairy queens, foxes, and owl goddesses thread through contemporary story-songs exploring parenthood, home, burnout, grief, and the transformative power of creativity.
The new songs are brought vividly to life with a fresh live line-up featuring sought-after guitarist Louis Campbell and acclaimed cellist Lucy Revis (Before Breakfast). Together they create a richly layered yet understated sound world, with Emily’s luminous vocals, banjo, and piano at the centre, woven through crystalline harmonies, lush strings, and interweaving electric and acoustic guitars.
Audiences can expect an intimate, spellbinding performance where traditional influences meet contemporary storytelling. This preview tour offers an early glimpse into Dominion of Spells, an evening of vivid, songs steeped in mythic imagination.
“A really great listen… sonically full of interesting little details.” — Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2 Folk Show
“Of all the singers and songwriters in British folk music, few have the ability to encapsulate what it means to be human in the way that Emily Portman does. Dominion of Spells is a real and vital piece of work, something to be cherished.” — Klof Mag
“Dominion of Spells showcases Emily Portman’s beautiful take on traditional stories brought into the present day, giving them a powerful modern relevance.”— At The Barrier
"Deeply emotional and absolutely authentic" —Liverpool Sound & Vision.
"Portman has a gift for melding modern times with traditional folk ideals...Portman has given food for thought as well as a terrific set of songs"- Americana UK
" the spell it casts is magical indeed" —Fatea
Tallulah Rendall - Only Human Tour
Doors 7.30
ONLY HUMAN is more than an album — it’s an immersive companion exploring what it means to live with an open heart in a complex world.
Tallulah Rendall’s seventh album, HUMAN, is a raw and cinematic exploration of what it means to live with an open heart in a world that often rewards disconnection. Blending alt-pop, electronic textures, and organic instrumentation, the album chronicles her journey from shame and a lack of self belief to self-acceptance and love; a deeply personal yet universal reflection on the courage to be human.” A love letter to the messy beauty of existence — to falling, breaking, healing, and rising again. Each song is a prayer, a confession, a reclamation of self. It’s an album about remembering who we are beneath the noise; raw, imperfect, and profoundly alive.
Tallulah's performance includes Ben Roberts (cello & vocals), Sam Walker (drums & vocals), Steffanie Kelly (piano & vocals), David Curtis (double bass)

The Undercover Hippy
Doors 7pm
This October, The Undercover Hippy are on tour once again, promoting the release of their new single “Nothing To See Here”. As always, the band use their music to draw attention to the issues that those in power would rather you ignored. But ignorance is no longer an option. Everyone is in this together and we will all pay the price of choosing to look away. So let’s gather together once again, join our voices in unison, bounce our bodies around to the beat for no explicable reason, and celebrate the joy of existence, whilst also drawing strength for the battle ahead. Because they might stop a single man… but they can’t stop the tide.
If you’ve not been to an Undercover Hippy gig before, you are in for a treat. By the encore you will be exalted and exhausted; entertained and educated; energised and inspired. The music combines meaningful lyrics with upbeat, bass soaked, reggae and hip-hop infused rhythms, bringing like minded people together to both acknowledge the darkness and celebrate life.
“I don’t think there’s anything quite like The Undercover Hippy... It’s truly unique, fun, and powerful, with darkly satirical lyrics in equal amounts set to a reggae beat that’s simply infectious… this has been one of the THE most enjoyable shows I’ve been to in years” Live Wire Music
“A brilliantly fun experience, delivered by a bunch of lads who love their art.” Outline Magazine
“The Undercover Hippy is one of those rare artists that leave you with a totally different perspective of the world. ” The Grapeline Live

Polly Paulusma & Dan Whitehouse: Songs Before Sunrise
7pm
Expect an intimate, deeply atmospheric evening: songs, stories, spoken word with two of the UK’s most distinctive and innovative songwriter–performers.
Across the evening, Dan Whitehouse and Polly Paulusma create a shared musical space where song and spoken word blur, and where two distinct voices meet in compelling dialogue. Moving between solo moments and subtle interplay, the set flows from sparse piano and guitar-led songs into more expansive textures, with each artist responding to the other’s work in real time.
Dan Whitehouse’s work has been described as “Intriguing” and “Gorgeous” **** (The Guardian), and “Unflinching… haunting” (Clash Magazine), marking him out as a songwriter of rare emotional clarity.
His most recent material, Only Love, shaped between England and Japan, explores presence, distance and fatherhood with striking honesty and his back catalogue has been celebrated by Folk On Foot and BBC Radio 6 for Dan’s insight into social history and the human condition.
Since her debut Scissors In My Pocket on One Little Independent Records, Polly Paulusma has built a critically acclaimed body of work spanning songwriting, production and academic research, and has toured internationally including supporting Bob Dylan and Coldplay. Her work has been widely praised, with The Guardian noting “a voice capable of some unexpected twists” and Rolling Stone describing her debut as “an enchanting… intelligent folk pop”. Her recent album Wildfires brings her evolving fusion of spoken word and song to full expression.
An evening shaped by process as much as performance. Both artists draw from the discipline known as ‘morning pages’ writing before the day begins, before the critical voice takes hold.
Lucy Farrell and Shane Pendergast
8pm
Rooted in the rich traditions of English and Maritime folk music, Lucy Farrell and Shane Pendergast bring together two distinct yet complementary voices in contemporary folk. A special one-off collaborative tour in the UK.
Lucy Farrell, a BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winner, is celebrated for her poetic songwriting, unconventional melodies, and the crystalline clarity of her voice. Known for her work with The Furrow Collective, Eliza Carthy and the Wayward Band, and a host of other acclaimed collaborations, Farrell has carved out a singular place in English folk with her elegant, understated tenor guitar and viola arrangements. Her solo work reveals a deep lyricism and a rare ability to make the strange feel familiar, and the familiar feel extraordinary.
Shane Pendergast, hailing from Prince Edward Island, Canada, carries forward a long lineage of Maritime storytellers and songkeepers. A troubadour of the East Coast, his plainspoken yet profound songwriting has earned him recognition at folk festivals worldwide, as well as Contemporary Roots Album of the Year at the Music PEI Awards for Second Wind (2021). His 2025 release Winter Grace offers a deeply personal reflection on the joys and hardships of life in the Maritimes.
Hannah James and Toby Kuhn
8PM
Innovative folk artist Hannah James reunites with dynamic cellist Toby Kuhn for a series of live shows celebrating their new album, Where All Our Names Belong. Together they weave a rich tapestry of song, story, and rhythm - Hannah's expressive voice, accordion, and percussive dance entwined with Toby's vivid, unorthodox cello delivery.
Hannah is an award-winning musician, dancer, songwriter and singer, a creative force renowned for her work in Lady Maisery and collaborations with Seasick Steve, Maddy Prior and Songs of Separation with Eliza Carthy, Karine Polwart and others. Toby is an award-winning French cellist whose post-classical, inventive, improvisational playing has taken him all across the globe.
Their performances unfold as an immersive journey: soulful songs, playful dances, and unexpected textures that shift effortlessly between delicacy and power. Ever curious, ever inventive, Hannah and Toby blur the lines between tradition and innovation, inviting audiences into moments of connection, discovery, and joy.
