Also Available for private hire The Archives in Exeter show that there has been a water mill on this site since before the Norman invasion in 1066.

Lapford Mill is home to the LMSR Steam Railway and a great cosy pop-up venue for live music and theatre, serving good local food, beers and wines, all set in mature parkland. The Domesday Book records that the Miller had to pay a tax of 2 Shillings & 3 pence per year to the King for use of the water from the mill leat. The present Mill building is said to have been built in the late 1800s, after the previous one was destroyed by a fire. The original mill was a two storey cob and thatch building, whereas the present building is of the local Devon Bluestone, has four floors and a slate roof. Kelly’s Directory for 1889 further records that “The Mill House was anciently the seat of the Gater family, who were seated here and in Morchard Bishop adjoining from 1434 to 1820.

Weaving elements of blues, rock, folk and psychedelia together across an impressive back catalogue of EPs and albums, Gozer is no stranger to making music characterised by the way it makes you feel, rather than the category you put it into. Supported early on by the likes of BBC Introducing and played on radio shows across the world since 2016, Gozer was nominated in 2021 for a FATEA award, and later that same year signed to the Lights and Lines record label.

Gozer Goodspeed
・・・
Playing guitar is a serious business... part 5? I’ve forgotten how many of these I’ve done already.

This photo was taken by my friend Clayton, and what’s really clever about it is that he actually got a poster for the gig in the background of the shot of me actually playing the gig! I appreciate that kind cleverness with framing photos. It’s the little things...

Anyway! Hope you are all well. I’ve been recharging my batteries in a mystery location this week, but I’m very much looking forward to Friday, when I get to head up to the spectacular Lapford Mill and play a duo gig with the mighty Bill Birks in one of North Devon’s cosiest music venues!

See you out there somewhere... ** Friday 30 October from 6pm onwards at LAPFORD MILL - see link in bio for tickets**

💜🎙️ SOME BIG NEWS FOR CAJUN RAIN!

I'm delighted to announce that my original song LOVIN' MADE EASY has been selected for BBC Introducing in the South West!

The song is scheduled to be played this Thursday 22 October from 8pm, with Daniel Pascoe on BBC Radio Devon, BBC Radio Cornwall and BBC Sounds.

From writing songs here in North Devon to having one selected for BBC radio — this really means a lot.

A massive thank you to Daniel and the BBC Introducing team for giving independent artists a platform.

Dean Murphy | Cajun Rain 🎸
