Note: please see venue directions at the bottom.

Singer-guitarist Dan Whitehouse renews, reinvents and reimagines - touching listeners with his observations and moving them with his sensitivity and impeccable songwriting.

Dan will be joined tonight with synth wizardry from Rob Linrop

On this, The Glass Age Album Tour, Dan continues to develop and evolve his live offering whilst showing how he carefully nurtured his creativity during an imposed stay in Japan from January 2020 to June 2021. The Glass Age - a collaboration with Swedish producer Gustaf Ljunggren, looks at how our human experience and ways of connecting have changed through the ‘glass’ of virtual communication. All of the incredible new songs lean into minimal electronica as much as the beautiful clean tones of Dan’s guitar and exceptional story-telling. In this, The International Year of Glass, catching Dan live seems even more irresistible.

“Wonderful production and writing” Tom Robinson BBC 6 Music 

“Perhaps Mr Whitehouse's greatest gift is his knack for writing seemingly simple songs that most listeners will be able to relate to.” MAVERICK

The Piggery at Hole is situated just to the east of the hamlet of Ley, 10 minutes drive from the Halfway House at Two Waters Foot, and 5 minutes from the Carnglaze Caverns turn off from the A 38.

From the Halfway House, follow the road up the hill until you reach a cattle grid at the top. Before the cattle grid take a sharp right down to Ley. Take the first turning left through a farm and along a narrow lane for 400m. There is a field to the right with double wooden gates where you can park. Go back through the gates and turn right, then right again down the drive to the Piggery.

From the A38 coming from Liskeard, take the turning to Carnglaze Caverns and St Neot. Take the 2nd left off this road down a narrow road, over a little bridge and up the hill. Keep on the road through the farm and go past the top of the drive to Hole Farm and park in the field just beyond on the left. There are up to 6 spaces outside the piggery for those with access difficulties.
