Heartwood

Mouthful presents

Wednesday 12 March, 2025. 7.30pm.

£15

Subject to online booking fee. Available online online only via artists.

A very special evening of glorious a cappella harmony singing, featuring the fabulous Heartwood from the US, hosted by Mouthful, with Mouthful Voices community choir.

Heartwood is a trio of singers and instrumentalists creating new music born from time in wild places. With rich vocal harmonies and inviting lyrics, these singers and instrumentalists create music in collaboration with the natural world and weave songs that welcome people to join in the singing. Heidi Wilson, Sarina Partridge, and Willy Clemetson first came together as a trio in 2021 during a songwriting intensive on a small island in Lake Superior. Since then, they have toured in the USA performing and teaching workshops; written an original musical together, ‘The Well Tree,’ and recorded an album of songs from wild places. This will be their first tour of the UK as a band, and they are excited to connect with singing communities across the pond!

Mouthful make innovative, exciting and original music using only the human voice as an expertly-played and finely-tuned instrument. Bex Mather, Dave Camlin, Katherine Zeserson and Sharon Durant create and perform a diverse range of vocal material inspired by gospel, funk, jazz and global folk traditions.

Mouthful Voices is Gosforth Civic Theatre's resident community choir, led by Bex and Dave from Mouthful, with Katherine and Sharon never far away. Singing songs from folk traditions of the UK and around the world, they unite in harmony to create a beautiful and powerful group sound.

This is a seated event.

Your journey and parking

Gosforth Civic Theatre is right next to (literally 2 minutes walk from) Regent Centre Metro Station and Bus Interchange, which means we're on a host of major transport links including Tyne & Wear Metro, Arriva, Stagecoach and Go North East bus services and via car from Great North Road. Please visit our YOUR VISIT section of our website to find directions and the best way to arrive at GCT.

We have a small, free car park but this will be very busy and part reserved for artists and staff, so it's best to avoid planning on parking directly at the venue. Please keep this in mind if you're driving over; we detail alternative parking on our YOUR VISIT page so check it out!
