About this event

Daudi - live at Rosslyn Court is on Thursday 1 July 2027 at Rosslyn Court, Margate, with doors at 19:00. Tickets start at £7.70, including the booking fee.

Nottingham-based British-Ugandan singer-songwriter Daudi Matsiko finds hope through vulnerability. His deeply felt modern folk songs pair intricate guitar playing with a fragile yet undeniably powerful voice, making these personal stories of longing and belonging feel shared. His self-produced debut album, The King of Misery, navigates depression and bipolar affective disorder, finding hope within those painful experiences and moving towards a more life-affirming place. Its journey into the world was hard-won: after the album was shelved by his former label during lockdown, music lawyer Ann Harrison helped Matsiko reclaim the rights. With help from PRS Foundation and Adam Scrimshire’s Albert’s Favourites, he established his own label, Really Good, and released it independently, earning four-star reviews from both MOJO and Far Out Magazine and champions including Gilles Peterson, Lauren Laverne, Jamz Supernova, Sian Eleri, Adam Buxton, Poet Laureate Simon Armitage, Brian Eno and more recently, critically acclaimed authors Alice Oseman and Elizabeth Gilbert. Gilbert lovingly describes Matsiko’s work as “honest vulnerability, so beautifully wrapped up in hope”. Live performa...

Findlay Napier live at Rosslyn Court

Rosslyn Court · Margate

Winner of the MG Alba Composer of the Year Findlay Napier is widely regarded as one of the finest performers on the UK music scene. He is as comfortable on the main Stage of Cambridge Folk Festival with folk rock supergroup The Magpie Arc as he is in an intimate acoustic show in the back room of a pub. This fact was further highlighted when Napier was the first solo act ever to be nominated for Live Act of the Year at the Scot’s Trad Music awards in 2018. Tirelessly creative he has been touring and releasing music since the early naughties. First with groundbreaking trad folk band Back of the Moon, then with Nu-Folk pioneers Findlay Napier and the Bar Room Mountaineers and most recently as a solo act working under the guidance of legendary songwriter Boo Hewerdine. In 2025 he was chosen, alongside Kate Rusby and Richard Thompson, to compose an original song for BBC Radio 2’s “21st Century Folk”.

Churchfitters return to Rosslyn Court

Rosslyn Court · Margate

Churchfitters 9-12-26 Churchfitters played at Rosslyn Court in December 25 and were so good we immediately booked them again and are putting them on a Wednesday which is all they could do! This will sell put fast so book soon. “ They are the most musically inventive trio that I have seen in decades ” — Dave PEGG The Churchfitters is a folk band like no other. A double bass made out of a saucepan. Heart-wrenching vocals accompanied by a musical saw or a glass harp. Foot-stompingly fast fiddle mixed with infectious funk-rock rhythms. And traditional tunes reinvigorated with mesmerising jazz sax. The three virtuoso musicians from England and France strut their stuff on a stage that bristles with instruments - adding flute, banjo, dulcimer, tin whistle, guitar, ukulele, electric hub-cap bass-bouzouki and a sackful of percussion to their ensemble. And let’s not forget the unique ‘bing-bong’ machine made out of hack-saw blades. Throw in some exquisite harmonies, a slew of startlingly original songs and a few jokes that create instant rapport and you’ve got a high energy show that always leaves audiences cheering. How do you adequately describe such a musically diverse, upli...

Livermead House Hotel · Torquay

Lead singer for Manfred Mann, leader of The Blues Band, star of stage and screen and presenter of the BBC Radio 2 Blues programme for thirty plus years; Paul Jones has been a household name since the 1960s. He is the voice of worldwide hits 'Do Wah Diddy Diddy', '5-4-3-2-1' and 'Pretty Flamingo and maintains a busy touring schedule as part of The Manfreds. Ruggedly durable and timeless, the Blues is perhaps more popular today than it has ever been. Young musicians still cut their teeth on its enticing, 12-bar appeal, but its real rewards, true virtuosity, poise and knowledge, only come with age. Founder member of The Blues Band, Paul Jones’ tangled and colourful roots go way back into the true undergrowth of the tradition. What Paul Jones doesn't know about the Blues can be written on a pinhead. Paul Jones was awarded Harmonica Player Of The Year in 2010, 2011 and 2012 at the British Blues Awards., earning him a place the Hall of Fame. Joined by the all-band of Derek Nash; featured saxophone soloist in the Jools Holland Rhythm & Blues Orchestra, Paul presents an evening of rhythm and blues classics as well as some gems from the Manfred Mann and Blues Band back catalogues as well...
