We’re working with the incredible production team bring you something truly special, and we can’t wait to gather riverside later this year to share it with you.

Sanctum - Philippe Nash + Mumble Tide
Philippe Nash:
Drifting beautifully between personal conflicts and the natural world; Philippe's piercing rumination on his own emotional wilderness is met by a crackle of nightly noise in the far-off distance, a wash of ambience approaching. With minimal arrangements, Philippe is a champion of singer-songwriter form leaning into an acoustic guitar that flickers to meet his both angelic and menacingly vulnerable voice. Having opened for the likes of Billy Bragg and Michelle Stoddart of the Magic Numbers, Philippe is gathering steam in building his own musical arch. He will be accompanied by strings for this special Stroud show and just coming off a solo tour opening for UK indie alt-rock folk singer Thea Gilmore.
Mumble Tide:
Buoyed by an ever-evolving collage of pop influences, Mumble Tide’s work has regularly swung between the sweet and savage, the grungy and glistening. But at its heart is the meeting of two minds; singer-songwriter Gina Leonard and multi-instrumentalist Ryan Rogers. Over the last few years they have honed their distinctive brand of kaleidoscopic indie, all anchored by Leonard’s crystalline, plaintive voice.
18:00-20: Kitchen open - pay-as-you-can as always.

Good on Paper Party
GOOD ON PAPER 10TH ANNIVERSARY PARTY/FUNDRAISER
Founded and run by Alex Hobbis (editor) and Adam Hinks (design) Good On Paper was launched in February 2015 to provide a definitive guide to arts, music, theatre, film, dance, comedy, literature and spoken word events in Stroud to both its residents and visitors.
As well as producing listings the magazine also supports the work of local artists, authors, musicians, filmmakers and other creatives...
It also provides budding writers, photographers and filmmakers the opportunity to hone their skills and gain invaluable experience in print and media which they have used in furthering their own careers.
In 2025 the magazine will be going into its 10th year. A mighty milestone…And the Good On Paper Party/Fundraiser returns on Saturday 1st February, this time taking places across two venues: the radical ‘pay-what-you-can’ community hub The Long Table and multi-arts venue Studio 18.
First launched in 2016 the GOP Party acts as a fundraiser for Good On Paper; whilst bringing forth a hoard of local artists, musicians, poets, DJ's and more to celebrate the vibrant, creative scene which Stroud is increasingly becoming renowned for. A one day festival if you will. An eclectic mix of live music, spoken word and art. As well as securing a future for the magazine which remains a part time project it will also raise vital funds for the venues hosting it.
Good On Paper continues its close working relationship with d&b audiotechnik who will install their world renowned speakers for the stage at the Long Table. And Valley Steppas will be wheeling in their epic sound system to Studio 18...
