Live music this week
Two events in London
Hello, I hope you are all well.
I’m just getting in touch to let any Londoners know about two gigs happening this week that I’m involved in…
The first is tomorrow (12/11) at Space Talk, the beautiful new hi-fi bar in Farringdon. Lovely DJ & Radio host Valentine Comar has invited myself and Rosie Turton (going by her modular synth alias Nomieye) to come and play together. After a series of sessions in my studio, recording free-flowing improvisations, we’re going to perform live together for the very first time. Expect deep dives into electronic soundscapes, textural dubbiness, and sparse, captivating rhythms as we guide you through a rich sonic journey.

Doors open: 6pm | Live starts: 8:30pm - Entry is free, but please RSVP via the link below:
The second gig is this Wednesday (13/11) at Toulouse Lautrec in Kennington. It is the Play for Progress: Allies in Art Fundraiser Concert - reunifying families separated by conflict and persecution.
I’ll be playing improvised music with Alice Mary Jelaska and Molly Astley.
Come join us for a warm & eclectic evening of jazz, folk, songs & poetry from around the world - to support a cause very close to our hearts.
Some of London’s top musicians & songwriters from the jazz, folk and world scenes bring you an embracing evening of new and old music from around the world, in support of young people seeking asylum and reunifying with their families.
There will also be a raffle with prizes… and expect an occasional sing along!

About the fundraiser:
Our fundraiser night focusses on supporting the vital needs of unaccompanied young people going through the long process of family reunification.
This is part of a wider fundraiser organised by Play for Progress to support specific young refugees to reunite with family members who are in countries challenged by conflict, war and persecution.
About Play for Progress:
Play for Progress is a Croydon-based charity that supports unaccompanied young people seeking asylum and promotes community resilience through trauma-informed creative engagement in the arts and education.
We tap into the healing power of music, the arts, play, and creative therapies to build healthy and resilient relationships that support and amplify the voices of unaccompanied young people seeking asylum.

Thanks for making it to the end. I’ll be back soon with more news 💛
