Long For The Coast is Jamie and Sophie Gould (+ sometimes solo (Jamie) and sometimes with their full band).
With a combination of sincere lyrics and beautiful harmonies, they sing stories about social change, spiritual adventures, and close friends lost and found.
"Just beautiful...they've done it again.”
James Santer, BBC Introducing
Their music combines influences from artists such as Ben Howard, Bonobo, This Is The Kit, Nitin Sawhney, Frank Turner, and Sufjan Stevens. They’ve been championed by the BBC Radio 6 Music as well as playing at Nozstock, Greenbelt and Shambala festivals.
Honest, endearing, and fiercely hopeful, LFTC believes that ‘music is a community and aims to promote a culture of authenticity where people feel safe to be themselves'. From cafés and festivals to book shops and bakeries, this Devon-based duo will play anywhere that people might listen. Their debut album Revolution Starts At Home received fantastic reviews and airplay.
“I have been gently blown away by this album. Sublime.”

Tickets: Pay what you decide!
Our Green Room Live nights are Pay What You Decide because we know that everyone’s situation is different and for many, the last couple of years have been tough. We want anyone to feel able to take a chance on trying something new and see if it’s for you. If this applies to you, we just ask you to contribute the equivalent of a cup of tea or coffee. Otherwise, we’d like to invite you to consider how much you’re able to pay to support local live music: the income we make enables us to continue these nights long into the future.
We’re asking you to decide on booking this year, to avoid handling cash or creating queues in the venue, but if you enjoy the show and want to make an additional donation as you leave, we have donation boxes and a contactless donation point in the foyer and bar.
£2.50 – taste it and see – the average price of a cup of tea or coffee
