November. www.carolgrimes.com
Dyslexic Deborah 'Debris' Stevenson has been writing and performing her poems across the world for the past five years, from Camden, to Shanghai. In 2008 her poetic journey was followed by Channel 4 for a year, as part of Yeardot. Since, she has organised a festival for 7,000, has taught and performed for legacies like Lyric Lounge and has been published by Oxford University Poetry Society and Louis Vuitton. She is currently running her own young collective at Nottingham Playhouse called Mouthy Poets, who have sold all their shows. Simultaneously to creating a commissioned piece for BBC Radio 3, tutoring at Nottingham University and preparing for her Roosevelt Travelling Scholarship, to research the benefits of spoken word on Young people in America.
With music from Brigitte Beraha . With an astonishing range & immaculate jazz 'chops', “most musicianly singer Brigitte Beraha” performs as both ‘sideman’ and as a leader in an ever-expanding range of projects, from straight ahead jazz- singing jazz standard songs with lyrics, to more contemporary outlets- using her voice as an instrument. Brigitte has studied Music at Kingsway College, Classical and Contemporary music at Goldsmiths College, and Jazz at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London. "...Pure-toned, wide-ranging... She's a skilful writer of patiently curling, subtly resolved tunes."John Fordham, The Guardian www.brigitteberaha.com
With music from Randolph Matthews . Forget the usual tags – ‘singer-songwriter’, ‘folk-soul’, and ‘troubadour’. If you’ve caught him live, either solo or collaborating, you’ll understand Randolph Matthews operates in his own parallel world, well away from traditional mainstream record label marketing formulae. His music is an evolving journey, rooted in purity and unshackled expression, drawing on the greats of yesteryear in soul, Neo African rhythms and conscious words. As a percussionist he has played sessions for the likes of US soul / boogie legend Don Blackman, recording with Julie Dexter for her J-Life project and working with Arthur Baker on tracks for Brooklyn soul legend, Will Downing. He even voiced a high profile ad for Twix chocolate – remember the Twix ‘In The Mix’ campaign? With a voice that has echoes of Marvin Gaye, Jon Lucien and Bobby McFerrin, he has an open-minded approach to his music borne from years performing live and collaborating with a wide variety of groundbreaking London and international artists.
