Beth Rowley and her band will be headlining this very special concert. Beth is an English Blues and Soul singer-songwriter. Following a successful introduction in 2008 with her UK top 10 album Little Dreamer, for which she was nominated for a Brit Award for 'Best British Female Solo Artist' , her long awaited second album is highly anticipated by many.

With old Gospel Spirituals, Soul and Blues as her foundation, largely inherited from her parents who brought Beth and her 3 siblings up on Led Belly, Mahalia Jackson and Woody Guthrie, Beth is truly a rare talent that must be experienced live to fully appreciate. She has appeared on stage with some giants of the music world including Burt Bacharach, David Arnold (James Bond), and as Angelo Badalamenti's personal guest (David Lynch's right hand man) at Ghent film Festival. Beth also performed at Willie Nelsons 4th July Back Yard Festival in Austin alongside Ray Wylie Hubbard.

Following the huge success of her UK top 10 album 'Little Dreamer' in 2008, Beth has released an EP titled 'Wretched Body' in 2013 and only performs a handful of sell-out shows each year, all selling out within hours. Her new album is under way and Beth has teamed up with highly acclaimed Producer Abrahams, known for his work with Paolo Nutini, Nick Cave and Brian Eno.

Beth says 'I've been close to releasing new music a few times, but it hasn't been ready so I've waited. Now, working with Leo I feel like its finally ready. I cant wait to start performing it live'.

Her loyal following means that Beth has a busy 2015 ahead with a UK Tour and Festival season being booked up.

The period since 'Little Dreamer' has also seen Beth's film debut with the release of Oscar nominated Brit flick 'An Education', starring Carey Mulligan and directed by Danish director Lone Scherfig. Beth's cameo role as the nightclub singer received rave reviews as did her theme song 'You Got Me Wrapped Around Your Little Finger' written with collaborator Ben Castle.

Little Sparrow (Katie Ware) is a vocalist and songwriter who has a very special quality in her music and performance, a real charm and versatility. As captivating to watch as she is to listen to, Katie's beautifully emotive use of expression mirrors the sincerity of her delivery, making her someone not to be missed. Her delicately crafted folk songs are created with a combination of flawless vocals, strings, guitars, percussion and tender harmonies. Drawing upon influences as diverse as Kate Bush, All About Eve and PJ Harvey she creates songs that are filled with a blend of styles, woven into the colourful tapestry of her music, often with a mysterious fairy tale quality. Listeners are taken on a journey that touches upon every emotion, from heart-breaking sadness to uplifting joy.

Hattie Whitehead is in our humble option is one of the best young singer-songwriters and vocalists currently in London. Inspired by the earlier sounds of folk artists such as James Taylor, Nick Drake, John Martyn and Joni Mitchell, Hattie takes influence from both old and new music, drawing upon the eclectic range of musical styles she has been surrounded by throughout life. Distinguished by the purity of her vocal tones and crystal clear delivery, her experience of playing, singing and listening to folk, jazz, soul, alternative and many more genres has led Hattie to develop a style that is melodic, soulful, heartfelt and often unpredictable. The release of her beautiful debut EP 'Home' prompted radio play from stations including BBC Radio London & Amazing Radio and a stunning sell-out launch gig at St Pancras Old Church in London earlier this year.
