Submendip Live at The Sheppey Inn!

Mark your calendars for Friday, August 29th, because this trio of seasoned rockers is ready to rattle our rafters and shake our foundations with a sound born from the very soul of the Somerset landscape.
Born of the Mendip plateau, the local swamps, and even the distant windswept beaches of Aotearoa (New Zealand), Submendip have been rattling strings and shaking rafters since what they claim is “somewhere around 1956” (give or take a few decades!). This is a band with a story, a stubborn legend forged in schoolyards and university bars, surviving the ever-changing tides of trends and fashions with their unique sound and a healthy dose of humour.
Featuring Nick on guitar, Jon on bass, and Charley on drums, with a wild mix of vocals from across the band, Submendip carry a country-blues-rock’n’roll-hillbilly fire that burns brighter than ever. Their songs are a journey, riding on rolling rhythms, swampy grit, and those high and lonesome harmonies that feel both timeless and deeply personal.
Submendip are more than just a band; they are a living, breathing myth, a swampy legend that simply refuses to fade. Their performance is an equal mix of laughter, raw grit, and irresistible rhythm that will have you tapping your feet and smiling from ear to ear.
Why not make a full evening of it? Our kitchen will be serving up our delicious, locally-sourced food right up until the music starts. Book a table for dinner to ensure you have the perfect seat to enjoy a great meal before the show begins. If you’re just looking for a fantastic night out, feel free to come along for a drink and soak up the legendary atmosphere!
