We still have a couple of spots free to play at our upcoming electronic music event on Friday. Book your place via our form.

https://forms.gle/tteiHHbYkDJgrt6Q6

We can't wait to hear you play The Millhouse Arts Centre and Cafe.

Everyone who appreciates electronic music is welcome.

Informal networking 7 - 8pm, performers from 8pm.

***Calling all ELECTRONIC Music Producers, Performers and fans of electronic and experimental music - Friday, 30th October - 7 - 11 pm (networking 7 - 8 pm) - performance slots available***

Something a little bit different is coming to The Millhouse, Ilminster. A space for electronic music performers, producers, DJs and people who appreciate a good beat of the synthesised and experimental kind.

We have (c.20 min) slots available for performers (booked in advance via the QR code or this link). Form: Millhouse Electronic Night Sign Up Form https://forms.gle/4RrdfWoazNLyK2em9

Tell us who you are, what style of electronic music you perform and we will get back to you. Also, what set-up you require etc.

Informal networking between 7 - 8 pm to get to know the performers more and share tips with each other about production, sounds, scene, and collaboration opportunities.

It's not just for performers, so head down if you want to listen to something a bit different from the usual Friday night out, support what we are doing or are intrigued to find out more about what we do.

This is an inclusive space for anyone who loves electronic music. We particularly encourage female and neurodivergent artists and anyone of any age who could benefit from some friendly encouragement to step up to the stage and shine.

We are hoping to run this regularly, so if you can't make 30th October, keep posted for the next electronic music events .

p.s. A note on AI: Music is about connecting, learning and experimenting with new skills. You become something when you create and perform. Please bring your human creativity to the stage (not AI-produced tracks). This includes (if you don’t mind) checking the credits in your songs you might want to mix and sample for AI-generated ‘producers’. We owe this to human creativity.

Happy Saturday everyone - just a quick note: we are open today, but our café will be on a slimmed-down menu with hot drinks, cakes, baps etc rather than our normal menu. Come down and find out about the exciting things we have planned, though we won't be serving the full monty :)

Latest Exhibition at The Millhouse Arts Centre and Cafe - see Vincenzo Cumbo's colourful work until 31st October 2026

About the Artist

Vincenzo Cumbo is an Italian artist, based in Chard.

His work is colourful, figurative and full of character - from musicians, matadors, beach scenes and bright abstract patterns.
The exhibition is a celebration of life, colour and storytelling.

Vincenzo has been painting for the past 5 years; starting after a difficult time in his life, where painting became his way forward.

His hope is simple - that people enjoy his work.

Showing at The Millhouse, Ilminster, until 31st October 2026.
