Honey Comb brings musicians and music enthusiasts together at Artisan Tap in Hartshill, Stoke, on Tuesday 28 July 2026. Hosted by The Honey Box Hive, the evening will combine an in-depth conversation with Mr Will and intimate live performances, including a guest appearance by Julia Mosley.

A conversation-led night for local musicians

Honey Comb is intended as a dedicated meeting point for musicians to chat, exchange stories and experiences, and discuss potential collaborations. The event is hosted at Artisan Tap, with Fran Anderson leading a conversation with the evening’s featured musician.

The discussion will cover songwriting, experiences of working in the music industry locally and nationally, and the creative process behind the music performed on the night. For attendees, that means the event is structured around both the conversation and the performance, rather than presenting them as separate parts of the evening.

That format may appeal to musicians interested in how other artists work, as well as listeners who want more context about the songs and the people performing them. The source listing identifies the intended audience as musicians and music enthusiasts.

Mr Will and Julia Mosley lead the programme

The featured guest is Will Sherratt, who performs under the name Mr Will. He first picked up a guitar at the age of eight and later became interested in the precision of classical guitar and the experimentation associated with modern jazz.

His technique includes using his thumb and all four fingers while strumming, although the source describes his wider approach as extending beyond the mechanics of playing. Mr Will has performed at events and venues including WOMAD, Latitude, DrumCamp UK, Newcastle Jazz Festival and Lancaster Jazz Festival. His international performances have included Senegal, The Gambia, the Philippines and Uganda, where he headlined the Bayimba Festival.

Julia Mosley will join Mr Will for the live performances. The organisers describe her as an independent artist known for an ethereal, powerful voice and melodic, emotionally intense songs. Her recorded music and performances have built an audience in the rock and goth scenes.
