Beginning the night will be..

*****Ngaio******** Acoustic set accompanied by Tom Hackwell's sympathetic guitar strumming, Ngaio embraces the space and allows her vocals to spill through the room.
Described as 'Jill Scott sermonising with the sweet tones of Corinne Bailey Rae and the attitude of miss Erykah Badu' NGAIO's acoustic show draws you into her craft. Expect works diving into multiculturalism, intersectional feminism and what it means to grow up a mixed-race female, harnessing living in the in-between, a testament to what happens when poignant lyricism meets soulful instrumentals.
