Event information

Laurel Canyon Music are proud to present a great night of music in an very intimate and candlelit setting. The Winemakers Club is a hidden gem of a venue located near Holborn viaduct in the heart of the City and a short walk from St.Paul's and Farrington tube stations.

Headlining the night is one of our favourite singer-songwriters Katey Brooks. Her unique sound epitomizes the culturally diverse environment in which she grew up. Born and raised between Bristol, London and Arizona to musical parents, the Indie Award nominee is best described as a female Hozier, with all the haunting intensity and every bit of the soul.

With a “voice to melt glaciers” (Venue Magazine) Katey is at home anywhere she can take her guitar. From the London 2012 Olympics to Glastonbury Festival, from WOMAD to Abbey Road, Brooksʼ “devastating vocal talent” (Just Music That I Like) has garnered her admirers from across the spectrum of the industry, seeing her feature on tracks with Paloma Faith, Imelda May, The Rolling Stonesʼ Bill Wyman, Nick Mason of Pink Floyd and Brian May – not to mention sharing the bill with acts like Newton Faulkner, Ghostpoet, Deaf Havana and Mystery Jets.

Fast becoming a radio favourite, “not to be missed” (Time Out) Katey's music has been hailed on BBC Radio 1, 2 and 6, and she's recently been added to the Starbucks playlist worldwide. The haunting, ethereal sound of her latest I Fought Lovers EP is prelude to the sonic largesse of future releases, as she heads to the studio to record her new album with a few of Britainʼs finest.

Having led a fascinating life with a vivid cast of characters, Katey takes to the road often, to draw inspiration from the people she meets. The writing for her current album began in the chaos of London life, continuing on tour in the dusty expanse of Australia at the beginning of 2015, and finding its completion on the side of a beautiful little mountain in the Welsh wilderness. Now under the wing of UK based label Abandon Music Group, Brooks has just returned from a winter of touring in Europe and Australia, and is in the studio recording a brand new album. With a busy summer of festivals and concerts lined up, you can catch her live on tour in Canada, Germany, Holland, the UK, and more!

Our special guest on the night will be singer-songwriter Ash Radford who grew up between Jersey (UK) & England, but his sound and character are more evidently sculpted by his travels, including time living in Cape Town (SA), and New Zealand.

Ash brings his robust, soulful voice and presence to the stage, carrying the listener across Astral visions and Ocean adventures. Having already supported the likes of Finlay Quaye & The Black Seeds, he is currently performing solo with acoustic and electric guitar, breathing life into the music with a raw tenderness, that is both disarming and utterly engaging for the audience.

Writing best on the road, Ash has been performing and writing in France, while preparing to record an EP in 2016.
