About this event
There's nothing quite like live music and time in nature to help you relax. The Sunday Acoustic Sessions at HARTA retreat offer just that - a chilled afternoon with fantastic music in a stunning setting. Whether it's a smooth acoustic guitar or a powerful voice, these sessions are all about good music, good company and nature.
This week we’re welcoming A.D. Scruffs, a Bristol-based roots Americana string band who are fast building a reputation as one of the most exciting new acts on the scene. Fronted by Jake A.D. and Willygoat Scruff, the band blend banjo, mandolin, dobro, and strong harmonies with a love of storytelling through song. Their sound is raw and full of character. As they put it, even the calmest gigs are full of adrenaline and connection, with the odd mistake laughed off together on stage. It’s that mix of honesty, energy and humour that makes their shows so memorable.
Doors / Bar Open : 3pm

📍 Where's HARTA?
Situated between Ilfracombe and Combe Martin we're a little off the beaten track, but easily reached by car. Public transport? Not quite caught up yet (classic Devon), so car shares are a good shout. For groups of 4 or more, we'll keep your designated driver happy with free soft drinks.
*All Sunday sessions are free entry, though we encourage donations to the artist. These contributions are voluntary, but without your generosity, the adventure may be short-lived. Your support helps keep the music flowing!
