See event details

A gig held at Rough Trade Bristol on Wednesday 3rd December. The event starts at 19:45.


Live performances from:

Laura Dia
Sisanda
SoulBee
TJA

SOULBEE - Bristol-based soul singer who draws inspiration from the melodies of R&B and reggae mixed with the harmonies of gospel. Their calming yet emotive vocal style is known to draw crowds into a space of heartfelt intimacy, while uplifting them with their empowering lyrics.

LAURA DIA - Nigerian-Irish singer, songwriter and producer from Bristol. Laura's music lies within the realms of contemporary R&B, Pop and Soul but she also draws inspiration from indie rock, hip hop and her West African heritage.

SISANDA - emanates the spirit of her place of birth on any stage, with haunting and dynamic contralto vocals that will make you pay attention. Growing up in the dawn of post-apartheid South Africa, Sisanda uses her music to express and share her thoughts on matters close to her heart. She started out leading songs at her local church and later won ”battle of the bands” at age 16 in her hometown of East London (not that one, the other one!)

TJA - An artist who refuses to be confined by a single genre. Drawing from a wide range of influences—R&B, neo-soul, jazz, reggae, and more—she creates music that reflects her eclectic tastes and creative freedom.
