Beautiful Strange is delighted to announce it is to host a series of special, intimate gigs in the stunning St Margaret's Chapel room at The Gallery Cafe (a vegan/vegetarian cafe on Old Ford Road, Bethnal Green which will be open and serving coffee/dinner/cake/wine/beer throughout.) These evening will be completely unplugged and acoustic, the chapel at the back of St Margarets House (entry through the gallery cafe) will hopefully provide the platform for the sort of experience that makes live music so fulfilling.

It is with great pleasure to announce This is the Kit will headline the first of these nights on Friday 4th May.

This Is The Kit

This Is The Kit is the musical project of Kate Stables and friends. You thought you didn't like the banjo but you were wrong pal. Listen as Kate rips forward with her hypnotic twang pattern and a voice of rare, unaffected beauty.

"absolutely georgeous, like an aural bath with the warm water lapping over you" Cerys Matthews, BBC 6 Music

Eliza Shaddad

Eliza Shaddad is a Scottish and Sudanese singer-songwriter with a musical background as diverse as her heritage. An eclectic array of influences - from childhood days spent at English folk festivals to the underground Hip Hop scene during her teens to more recent postgraduate jazz studies at the Guildhall - have worked to create both a composer and performer of remarkable and moving ability; blending intricate guitar patters with a stunningly forthright voice.

"Unpretentious and unabashed January ~ March's 4 tracks offer a kind of shimmering portrait, opening with the sleepy and frank declarations of Seven, a breezy first impression displaying a disarmingly honest personal profile that underlies the sound and paves the way for Shaddad's lyrical style throughout" Rhythm Circus

De'Borah

"De'Borah... delivers beautifully written songs with a gorgeous clear voice in a completely unaffected way." Daz Gueri, The Event Umbrella
