Don’t miss out on this unique night. Doors open at 7pm.
Tickets are only £10 and available online or on the door.
Hannah White
Hannah has a voice that can switch from a sweet Nashville croon to a bluesy holler, with songs which draw from a rich well of life experiences. Her songs have been heard on the national airwaves of BBC Radio 2, Amazing Radio, Chris Country Radio as well on major regional UK radio shows and international TV on the Phil Mack Country Show.
Hannah is the singer songwriter with the voice Fatea Magazine said is “an emotional force” full of “heartbreaking honesty” and God Is In The TV Zine described as “breathtaking”. Whilst Country People Magazine call Hannah “The Amy Winehouse of UK Americana”, Pete Sargeant (Blues Matters) has called her “A Norah Jones with an edge” and Acoustic Magazine “a voice you will want to protect and become besotted with”.
The singer whose live performance on BBC Radio London had Gaby Roslin break down, is preparing to release her new album in October 2017.
SPARKES at the Piano and Guests
Supporting Hannah White is Sunshine Radio Presenter Steve Parkes aka SPARKES at the Piano and Guests who is an experienced professional musician and entertainment host, piano keyboard vocalist, folk violinist and bass guitarist in his own right.
