Musical style: Soul
In the 5 years since she came to London from her home town of Sheffield Kat Eaton has established herself as a singer and songwriter of talent, breadth and genuine creativity.
Originally discovered through Mark Forrest on BBC Introducing, Kat's singles ‘Giving It Up' and ‘The Joker' earned her strong support from the late Terry Wogan & Vanessa Feltz on BBC Radio 2 and Robert Elms and Gaby Roslin on BBC Radio London. Kat's single "Where Were We" was also featured on BBC Radio London and NPO Radio 5 playlists. She lists her influences as, amongst many others, Janis Joplin, Joe Cocker, Tom Waits and Bonnie Raitt and describes her music as "..having its roots in blues, soul and country. If you like Amy Winehouse, John Mayer or Little Feat you should dig my kind of music too". Highly experienced she has performed in Holland, Czech Republic, France and Ireland as well as touring the UK supporting various artists such as Jools Holland, The Teskey Brothers, Marc Broussard and Mamas Gun. Kat's just released her debut record ‘Talk to Me', songs from which she'll be showcasing tonight along with her fine band.

Stefan Filey and Friends - Thursday September 26 - 8.30pm

Musical style: Soul Jazz
Stefan Filey is first and foremost a voice. In concert, close your eyes and listen to him sing "What's going on?", and you'll find yourself asking that very question, so thrilling is his interpretation of Marvin Gaye.
And this has not escaped anyone's notice. From Michaël Jackson, who asked him to open for him, to Johnny Hallyday, with whom he toured, Stefan Filey made his tenor range resound in venues the world over.
This pioneer of French Rn'B and gospel takes us into the Motown spirit, on the anniversary of the death of the prince of soul, who tragically passed away 40 years ago. And since Stefan Filey is not only a voice, but also a remarkable pianist and composer, he may well be able to introduce us to some previously unreleased tracks in the spirit of Marvin... Together with his acolytes Yann Negrit on guitar and Christofer Gourdin, and Regis Therese on bass, he has perfected his rereading of Marvin Gaye's best songs.

Musical style: Funk
ECHOES OF is one of the biggest funk machines on the French scene today. In 8 years of non-stop gigging, they've built up an incredible reputation between Paris and London, with their Funk & The City residency at Le New Morning and the South London Soul Train Party at the Bussey Building.
Thanks to their original concept of paying tribute to American funk cities, they make the iconic repertoires of the 70s and 80s from Detroit, Washington, Dayton, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Minneapolis sound live like no one else. For each city, a repertoire, an aesthetic and a singer who takes command of his city and becomes its ambassador. The group also staged a one-off show, ECHOES OF PRINCE, a veritable funk opera and tribute to The Purple One, which was released as a concert series and an EP of covers and remixes on the Funky French league label.
They have also collaborated with iconic 80s boogie funk artists such as HOWARD JOHNSON and JUNIOR GISCOMBE on their European tours. They're even Echoes Of A New Dawn Orchestra when it comes to accompanying cult acid jazz duo KYOTO JAZZ MASSIVE, for whom they've been the main line-up at clubs and festivals since 2022.
Agyei Osei (Vocal), Wolfgang Valbrun (Vocal), Jean-Baptiste Palies (Drums), Carel Cleril (Bass), Eli Frot (Keyboards), Kevin Lebellec (Guitar), Emilien Gillan (Guitar), Paul De Rémusat (Sax), Adélaïde Songeons (Trombone).

Musical style: Jazz
As part of the evenings sponsored by Thomas Dutronc
A true "reference" for jazz guitar, winner of the Grand Prix Jazz SACEM 2013, and the Prix Sidney Bechet de l'Académie du Jazz in 1997, ROMANE offers us a new project with his two sons, Pierre and Richard MANETTI, also guitarists.
Sons and grandsons of guitarists, ROMANE presents the 4th generation of the family with complicity and musical intelligence. It's hard not to be moved by a set like this, where music becomes a true "family story"... which is generously offered to the audience! A synthesis of Django's origins and funkier jazz, the set is an integral part of today's jazz, open to fusion and cross-fertilization.
The Romane Family is part of this desire to pursue the destiny of jazz: a living music which, as such, pursues its path of creativity to continue dialoguing with the generations of today and those of tomorrow. An irresistible "Three men show" with powerful swing, taking us from standards to bewitching ballads and funk pieces of their own composition.
Romane (Solo guitar), Richard Manetti (Solo guitar), Pierre Manetti (Solo guitar).

Musical style: Blues
Bernard Allison is a name that resonates strongly in the world of modern blues, embodying the fusion of the genre's traditional roots with a contemporary, electric approach.
The son of blues legend Luther Allison, Bernard hails from Chicago, a city emblematic of this musical style. Heir to a substantial artistic heritage, he has, from the outset, carved out his own path, delivering music imbued with passion and virtuosity, and creating a sound that is unmistakably his own...
After his album "Let It Go" (2018) and "Highs and Lows" (2023), Bernard finally presents in 2024 a double album in tribute to his father, "Luther's Blues", where he manages with deep respect to transcend his musical heritage to make his own legacy to posterity.
Bernard Allison's live performances are true experiences in which his charisma and interactivity with the audience bring out the best in blues music. Each concert is a celebration of life and an invitation to feel the joys and sorrows that the blues express so well.

Musical style: Soul cinematic, Blues
Ina Forsman established herself as a key artist on the Finnish blues scene by the age of 19, embodying a rising star of undeniable talent. With her subtle, lilting voice, deliciously smoky and powerful, she doesn't let up until the last note of the last song.
Her vocal style, steeped in Soul and Blues, recalls the great voices of Nina Simone and Aretha Franklin, combining energy, spontaneity and a touch of refinement all her own. With her album "All There Is" (JazzHaus Records), she presents everything that made great music in another era: raw, sincere, passionate, songs written from the heart, sung from the guts...
On stage, surrounded by a team of talented musicians, all from the North of France, she gets things moving and swinging, with the retro feel of old-fashioned brassy soul and the ultimate class of jazz, enhanced by the "modern attitude" of an artist from the new generation, who carries a strong heritage with grace and elegance.
Energy and spontaneity in spades, an innate sense of showmanship, a disconcerting ease with the audience and a charisma worthy of the greatest female singers. Ina Forsman is definitely the one we've been waiting for.

Deva Mahal has performed on stage alongside international legends such as Etta James, Björk, Ceelo Green, Patti Smith... and many others. She has also made a name for herself on TV, with a notable appearance on Quotidien (TF1) in 2018, or more recently as a special guest judge on RuPaul's Drag Race (Netflix).
Deva has spent the last few years in New Zealand furthering her craft as a composer and cultivating her skills as a producer alongside Chris Wethey. Her latest project (Future Classic: Vol 1 - Classic) passionately channeled into her music the grief of her home country's staggering racial violence and ongoing political injustices, the eternal striving for true love and self-esteem, and her sense of the sensuality, sweetness and power of a black woman.
