Grace Elizabeth Harvey

Green Note · London

Grace Elizabeth Harvey wrote her EP Songs of Devotion from deep within the tangles of language and love. Formed by train journeys, second-hand bookshops and borrowed sofas, what has presented itself is a collection of songs as dynamic and exploratory as they are simple and sincere. With a background as a classical cellist and student of literature and philosophy, Grace unites the traditional with the exploratory to capture deeply moving fragments of our experience, inspired by the likes of Laura Marling, Leonard Cohen and Madison Cunningham. The year of her 2025 debut EP, Other Faith, brought two UK-wide tours, including a break into London’s grassroots folk scene, sharing stages with the likes of Chris Brain, Chloe Foy, Josienne Clarke, Villagers and Florist. She won the Young Songwriter’s Competition 2025 and has since been awarded the PPL Momentum Accelerator Fund for her upcoming EP, Songs of Devotion. With a penchant for exceptionally captivating live performances, receiving praise from national press (BBC Introducing, Still Listening, Narc, FATEA, Folking) and grassroots fans alike, Grace is quickly proving herself to be of the UK’s finest emerging songsmiths and a ‘n...

Aretha Franklin by Vanessa Haynes of Incognito

Boisdale of Canary Wharf · London

Table reservations from 6pm | Live Music: 8.30pm “Haynes’ voice is nothing short of mesmerising. A standout talent in her own right.” - UK Soul Review “A soulful powerhouse.” - Evening Standard Aretha Franklin is dangerous territory for any singer. The songs demand more than a big voice, they need gospel instinct, soul phrasing and the confidence to hold back before letting the room have it. Vanessa Haynes has that equipment. Best known as a long-time lead vocalist with Incognito, Haynes brings serious soul credentials to the stage. Her career includes work with Van Morrison, Chaka Khan, Billy Ocean, Lulu, Anastacia, Leon Ware, Mario Biondi and Dave Stewart, alongside more than 14 years touring internationally with one of Britain’s most respected jazz-funk bands. Backed by a full live band, she takes on Aretha’s great songbook with the respect and nerve it deserves. Expect "Respect", "(You Make Me Feel Like a) Natural Woman", "I Say a Little Prayer", "Chain of Fools", "Think" and "Day Dreaming", songs built on gospel roots, deep soul and absolute emotional command. This is a proper singer meeting proper material, with enough grit, control and feeling to make the tribu...
