A night of live music at The Granary Arts Café on Thursday 11 December aims to push Moth Events' fundraising total for mental health charities past the £20,000 mark.

The independent events group has been hosting grassroots gigs for good causes in Nantwich since 2020.

In that time they have brought more than 80 acts to the town including Mercury Prize Winner Fyfe Dangerfield, New York hip-hop star Pan Amsterdam, NME Hot 100 artist Hang Linton and many artists that have graced Glastonbury, Jools Holland and BBC Radio 6.

The gigs have raised more than £18,600 to date, including over £5,500 for MidCheshire Mind, making them the charity's biggest single fundraiser of the past three years.

Now, with their next show in Nantwich, they are hoping to smash through the £20k barrier with another unforgettable night of live performances and community spirit.

Their special festive live show will feature a trio of standout UK artists.

Headline act Louis Coupe, from Shropshire, is a captivating artist who combines piano-led songwriting with a witty, affable knack for storytelling. 

His carefully crafted songwriting tells of life growing up in the quiet hills of Shropshire, his grandparents 65 years together, as well as both fun and frank reflections on life as a young man. 

Also on the bill is electronic pop artist, Megan Dixon Hood, who returns to The Granary Arts Café, having last performed at the venue in 2023. 

Describing her sound as 'forest pop', Megan takes inspiration from folklore, mythology and nature to create glorious soundscapes with cinematic storytelling, enhanced by soaring vocal performances.

Her unique style has drawn a wide variety of comparisons from AURORA to Florence + The Machine.

Nantwich's Jonah Shaw, a rising local star whose debut single Tongue Tied has amassed over 20,000 Spotify streams, completes the line-up.

Jonah's musical journey is as fascinating as his sound and while leading local Cheshire band Unit 17 he had the incredible opportunity to support indie band The Zangwills.

The evening will also include a charity raffle with prizes donated by local favourites including GOAT and Jordy's Pizza.

Company Director, Steve Gallimore, said: "Music has been a big part of my life growing up, and the live music scene has faced real challenges lately. When Tim approached us about supporting this event, we were more than happy to get involved, it is a great cause and a great night out."

2025's event is proudly sponsored by G&M Engineering Associates, allowing 50 per cent of every ticket sale to go directly to MidCheshire Mind.

Fundraising Lead at MidCheshire Mind, Daniel Harrison, said: "Moth Events has now raised over £5,500 for MidCheshire Mind, making them our biggest single fundraiser in recent years.

"It is a pleasure to support these events and see the community come together for such a fun and meaningful cause.

"Thanks to fundraisers like Moth, we've been able to expand our services across the area, including new bereavement support groups, wellbeing coaching, and the recently launched Maccas project for young people in Cheshire, which focuses on suicide awareness and emotional education."

Tickets are selling fast and available now with doors opening at 7pm on Thursday 11 December at The Granary Arts Café, Nantwich.
