About us
Royal William Yard's Yard Sessions are returning for summer 2026 with a stunning new venue to match the growing popularity of the annual event series. The free live music events are moving to the enchanting 'Secret Garden' – Plymouth's best kept live music secret, tucked away at the historic waterfront destination.
The Secret Garden is located behind Residence 1 – home to boutique B&B Rooms by Bistrot Pierre – found through an archway into a landscaped walled garden just metres from the sea. This one-of-a-kind venue creates incredible acoustics and atmosphere – perfect for the live music series that celebrates the best local talent, spanning a range of styles.
Up next: Friday 14 August - Thomas Ford and Becca Langsford
Becca Langsford and Thomas Ford are a brother and sister jump blues duo. Hailing from Cornwall, they have been playing music together for the last 20 years.
Taking inspiration from the White Stripes to Bukka White, their energetic live shows are driven by slide guitar, harmonica and washboard, for fans of blues shouters, jump jive and fingerpicked guitar.
Thomas has performed from Bodmin to Berlin and sold records from the Eastern Block to the East Indies. Becca has toured Europe and the US extensively with legendary guitarist Martin Barre of Jethro Tull.
In June 2024 they released their first EP as a duo, named ‘Shake What Your Mama Gave Ya’ which features 4 original songs, recorded live at Middle Farm Studios.
