FOUR GIGS THIS WEEK:
Monday 1st July to Monday 8th July
1. Kiss The Sky (last night): great warm-up for the week ahead.
Fantastic people there like vocalist Jessie Pie & Jonny Rogers, the lovely jazz singer Priscilla Andersohn (who I met for the first time). As well as a certain Tony Kirkland of Fortismere who taught Michael Kiwanuka and my former jazz student (now famous for ‘Being A Dickhead’s Cool’), Reuben Dangoor.
Setlist:
‘Shine’
‘Dancing Queen’ (renamed ‘Crouch End Queen (only 33)’ for the occasion)
‘Lady Day & John Coltrane’
2. ‘Amped Acoustic’ (Wed July 3rd):
Warm-up gig next to the social area post-‘farewell Esther Gelling Summer Concert’ in hall.
All Woodhouse and BEAT students did a lovely job in preparation for Amped.
Particularly nice performances from Amy Taylor (fellow Amy’s ‘Tears Dry’ closer to the set), Emma Buchanan (great backing vocals with Annabelle De Lord), Juliana Brooke (nice intimate sound to her voice and good stage presence), and Daniella Biggins who is gaining in stage confidence all the time.
3. ‘Amped’ – COMING SOON TO BAR SOLO, CAMDEN THIS SUNDAY 7th!
4. ‘The Gallery’: Danny performs solo set, followed by Sadie Alleyne, culminating in Zaid Joseph’s barnstomping finale!
COMING SOON TO THE GALLERY, AN AMAZING NEW NIGHTCLUB IN HENDON, NW LONDON THIS MONDAY 8th,
Kind of a busy week, then…
