Hello Hello ~ Happy Lovers Day to one & all ~

Photobucket

Yes I am writing a blog on Valentines night... I guess this stuff never stops lol. Anyway, I hope you are all loved wherever you are. I wanted to let you know about three very special shows and hope that you will be able to share them with me.

♦ Friday 20th February ~ Strange Brew @ the Roundhouse...

Yep, our residency at the Roundhouse is going really well... I love this venue! The vibe is beautiful. We have another treat of a lineup this month & are selling tickets for a mere £3 up front. Or if you're more of the spontaneous type you are welcome to pay a fiver on the door.

Feb Strange Brew front

Here are some of the things people have had to say about Strange Brew:

&hearts"An exciting genre mix-up of live music" - eventful.com

&hearts"Showcasing unsigned acts about to blow" - Metro

&hearts"A night of eclectic live music" - TNT

&hearts"This is no normal showcase this is the best of the best, an event of the highest musical calibre" - Phatriff

&hearts"I left Strange Brew feeling inspired and in awe of what I had seen" - R.H.A.S Journal

So if you like the sound of that then come down and check the vibe for yourself :D

♦The the following week... Friday 27th February ~ Takeover @ The Royal Festival Hall

This is going to be an amazing show! I will be performing with the wonderful choir pulse & with the London School of Samba This show will mark the culmination of my residency at The Southbank Centre. Tickets are only £6 / £3 concession. There is so much going into this event that I can't explain it all here but here's a video to show you a bit more:



Also performing on the night Natty & Chipmunk

♦ Finally I want to share another event with you which is very close to my heart. Over the last few months most of us have felt sorrow and disbelief at what has occurred in Gaza. I have received hurtful messages when all I have done is try to promote peace. In the spirit of this I would like to invite you to Benefit Gaza @ The Cockpit Theatre

Photobucket

This will be a peaceful, non political/religious evening of food, live music, magic, poetry & readings.

This event is being supported by:

Global Help Initiative for Palestine
Viva Palestinia
Jews for Justice for Palestine
Zaytoun - Fairtrade Palestinian Produce
British Shalom - Salaam Trust
Palestine Solidarity Campaign
Gaza Mental Health Programme
Lawyers for Palestinian Human Rights/
Interpal

Tickets cost £15 and ALL money raised will go to Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) who endorse and support the event and are a UK registered charity

I truly hope I will have your support with this and that you will come to one or two or all of these gigs!!!

Much Love & Blessings going out to all of you and if you've read this please let me know... I'm kinda lonely on Valentines Night!

I dont really know you, but i find your blogs relevant so i thought i would reply. Right now i am writing to you from guildford station on my mobile, waitin for a taxi and about to record an album, its 9am- just read ur blogs its awesome that you played with 'fat freddys drop', in fact when i listen to 'roady' i sort of, not in a creepy way, picture you as the woman vocalist im not sure why! Anyhow its awesome you played with them precisely because they are so good! In regards to obama i think it is a smoke screen, infact although its a great thing for racial equality it says nothing for the victims of the 'FOCA'. We can only hope that the powers that be fall in love with all forms of humanity. Perhaps too much politics for a blog. Better be off Need to get me some new recordings. Bless you x P.s i will try and catch a gig of yours soon your music is sweet.
