Ten Wee Devon Pints to celebrate beer at Barnstaple Library

A beer themed musical project will soon be bringing a series of clarinet pieces to Barnstaple Library, celebrating Devon’s brewing industry.

Ten Wee Devon Pints is a project that brought together ten composers and ten Devon breweries to write ten brewery-themed clarinet pieces.

The aim was to commission clarinet pieces which were equally accessible and exciting, while celebrating the rich heritage of Devon's brewing industry.

The composers took a range of approaches to their compositions, from musically representing the brewing process to celebrating the community spirit of the breweries.

The result is a fun and varied collection of pieces that celebrate Devon, its people and its beers!

The complete collection was premiered by Sarah Watts at Bulletproof Brewing (Plymouth), Stannary Brewing Co. (Tavistock) and New Lion Brewery (Dartington) in March 2023.

The project was organised by Núria Bonet and Sarah Watts with the support of the British Academy Early Career Researcher Network and the University of Plymouth.
