About the show
The Monthly Visitor returns to the Living Room on Friday 31st July, with Mara Simpson headlining July's edition.
Hosted by How Dare She, The Monthly Visitor is a regular night dedicated to music by female and non-binary writers. Expect originals, covers and collaborations, a laid-back and informal atmosphere, and a special guest artist on the night.
Mara is a multi-instrumentalist, performing artist, producer and composer working across electronic and acoustic instruments, tape machines, analogue synths and field recordings. Her fourth studio album, Living Matter (2025), was written and engineered in a studio she built herself with collaborator Philippe Nash, in response to a set of poems by JLM Morton from her book Red Handed. Centred on our connection to green and blue spaces, ancient land and artefact, the album has become a 6Music favourite, been performed live on stages across the country, and reimagined as a spatial sound installation for Hidden Notes Festival 2025.
Doors 6.30pm, music 7 to 9pm, upstairs in the Living Room. Stairs only, no lift.
Tickets £10 in advance, £12 on the door, via Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-monthly-visitor-the-grapes-bath-july-edition-mara-simpson-tickets-1992204663778

Featuring - Mara Simpson
UK/Kenyan songwriter Mara Simpson went to four other continents before appearing, on a whim in New Zealand. In no time she had a band of Wellington all-stars playing her songs, a single & music videos, gigs, tours and a sell-out three date showcase at Bats Theatre under her belt. Mara & the Bushkas first album “Live at Bats” is now out on independent release.
"Simpson’s music has the familiar layers of folk and country, all peppered with an up-beat funkiness with sweet underground coolness and quiet assurance." - Tim Gruar, New Zealand Musician.
