Chas Leman Single Launch Party at Jamboree

Event information

Chas Leman swiftly follows up his early-era Bowie meets Elvis Costello meets Jarvis Cocker debut album 'Wish The Clock Would Go Back' with his total left-turn single 'This Is Life', with the launch celebration taking place at Jamboree!

Leaning into more electronics and vintage synth sounds on the track, Chas shows the depth of his musical palette, and a glimpse into where he is headed next, with his follow up EP 'Repetitive STRAIN', due for release in January . 

His music spans genres, from searing heartbreak ballads to short, sharp punky numbers via expansive psychedelic pieces, all bound together with tales and observations from his proud working class London upbringing. He is also backed by a highly-accomplished live band who keep up with his relentless and boundless energy and completely buy into his unhinged yet loveable personality.

A larger than life character, with a musical heritage that can be traced back to the Victorian music halls, Chas maintains strong references to that past. Expect plenty of unpredictable comedic and theatrical moments throughout his live show, as his authentic working class South London humour transports you to a bygone age.

'..it's impossible not to feel the weight of the lyrics, resonating deeply with anyone familiar with the grind of survival in tough times..' – SONGBIRD HQ
