Festival Opener: Snowgoose (acoustic set) + Jayefel
St Peter & St Paul's Church, Shepton Mallet, BA4 5BW
Thursday 18th June 2026
Snowgoose
Experience the timeless, harmony-rich folk-rock of Snowgoose live!
Tonight they perform as an acoustic duo, bringing their enchanting indie charm to the Church. Featuring the spellbinding vocals of Anna Sheard and the beautiful guitar work of Jim McCulloch (Soup Dragons/BMX Bandits), and with a reputation for transforming venues into intimate, dream-like soundscapes, this promises to be a special night of evocative musical storytelling to open the inaugural Shepton Midsummer Fest.

During this time J has performed with top British jazz artists including Gary Crosby, Jay Phelps, and Tony Kofi, accompanied pop icons Melanie Blatt, Tallia Storm and Alexandra Burke, and has even jammed with American jazz legends Marcus Miller, Isaiah Sharkey and the late great Roy Hargrove. He has also had multiple appearances at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, performed live on BBC2’s Later…with Jools Holland and has worked with global chart toppers such as Dolly Parton and Usher.
