Every month The Barn Coffee Shop welcomes the best performers to Meanwood Valley Urban Farm.

“Loving these Acoustic Nights” “super food, excellent coffee” “such a great buzz” “Blooming amazing concert” “Phenomenal night” “You have an amazing thing going on”

In Sept 2025 we're privileged to host a concert from Yorkshire and Zimbabwe featuring Ali Bullivent & Godfrey Pambalipe.

A rich mix of Southern African to folk to gospel to pop, with drums, guitars, harmonies, dance to touch the heart!

DON’T MISS OUT: this is the last UK show before Ali goes back to perform in Zambia.

Including a Sanctuary Seeking Singer warm up slot by Soheila Sabzevari, the beautiful voice of the Leeds based Iranian vocalist. 

Yorkshire Ali Bullivent and Zimbabwean Godfrey Pambalipe have been making music together for 20 years.

Drums, guitars, harmonies and dance to touch the heart and get you moving!

Producing a rich mix of music with influences from the Southern African continent and the West.

Ali is a well known acoustic artist in his homeland and accompanied by guitar, performs original songs and an eclectic mix of covers from folk to gospel to pop.

Godfrey is an extremely accomplished drummer and dancer, and has built a career performing with many musicians from Southern Africa and beyond.

This is their last show together before Ali heads back to her other home in Zambia.

ABOUT US
One of the inspirations behind Acoustic Nights @ The Barn is to introduce high-quality independent music at an affordable ticket price reaching out to the local lively community. The Barn concert buzz is an intimate gig aiming to attract the local neighbourhood and wider community creating an opportunity to make social connections and interact with others in an informal, friendly and entertaining environment.

Eating together is one of the coolest parts of the unique atmosphere where food and ethically sourced coffee is available prior to and at the concert interval from 7pm | BYOB. It is recommended that you ARRIVE EARLY at the venue to allow time to order your coffee and/or food and get the best seats.

The Barn Coffee Shop, based in Meanwood, an inner suburb of Leeds, love to see community activities and groups meeting in the coffee shop and exist to see loneliness reduced in the local area. Volunteering opportunities and training and work experience placements are available for local individuals including: young people, people with learning difficulties, those seeking work/returning to work, and the older generation looking to keep active. As a social enterprise, they give all their profit to help local community projects.

After covering overhead costs the Acoustic Nights door money is given to the artist as they depend on income from live performances to finance their expenses and music vision.
