London based Dubliner Louis Brennan is a singer-songwriter in the folk tradition. His folk however aren’t the field hands and travelling minstrels of yore but the repressed middle managers and ennui-ridden urbanites of late stage capitalism. They populate tales of bad sex, half-drunk commutes and interpersonal claustrophobia delivered in Brennan’s cracked baritone, at times embarrassingly intimate, at times spuriously broad, peppered with pitch-black humour. Brennan has performed in many guises on many stages and is known for a live show that takes the listener on a journey, turning the mirror from himself onto the audience, commanding dynamics as if conducting an orchestra not standing alone with an acoustic guitar.

Two compelling improvisers emerging from London’s jazz scene, James Kitchman (UK) & Sylvia Schmidt (DE) are an accomplished guitar-vocal duo. Originally drawn together by the richness and variety of the jazz tradition, they have recently explored more diverse sources of inspiration, including Anglo-American folk ballads of the Appalachian mountains. Their sound embraces the dynamic tension between forces of preservation and transformation, creating a space in which the haunting beauty of nostalgia and irresistibility of change intersect.

Enjoy a unique take on Hot Club Jazz from this East London Collective. Lead by the unstoppable forces or Jess Collins and Charlie Wheatley. Also joined by Tom Wheatley on bass and Lewis Taylor on trumpet. A mixture of lighthearted fun and technical genius

Glimpses of Latin music have emerged in her music before – it would be impossible for them not to – but this new EP signals a new chapter in her career in which her heritage and search for identity are brought to the fore. Produced by Andrés Pascua, her new sound has a strong foundation in jazz and soul, driven by the hip swaying cumbia groove woven around funk basslines whilst Santiago’s voice cannot hide its admiration for master female Colombian vocalists like Petrona Martinez, dancing around the melodies, powerful when it needs to be. The, revealing a new sound informed by life in London and Latin American lineage. Home has always been in Stephanie’s heart, now we get to hear it live!
