Emerging Artists’ Showcase 16 May at Rich Mix & via livestream

Shining a light on talented artists who are often marginalised, as part of a collaboration with Drake Music funded by Arts Council England, this special showcase gives a platform to four incredible Emerging Artists who have been supported by highly experienced musicians from the Irene Taylor Trust and Drake Music to develop their artistic voices and share their unique stories.

Our Emerging Artists L U C I N E, Macelino, Muminah and Reese Quinlan have been selected from alumni of our Making Tracks  initiative for young musicians facing barriers and our Sounding Out programme for former prisoner musicians.

This showcase celebrates the conclusion of the two-year pilot partnership with Drake Music, over which the Emerging Artists have received individual mentoring, engaged in opportunities to work collaboratively and share learning, and been supported to record, release and perform their own original material.

Alongside our Emerging Artists, the evening will also feature special performances from Drake Music artists Miss Jacqui, Elizabeth J Birch and Kris Halpin.

Tickets are just £5! There will also be a LIVESTREAM available if you’re unable to join us in person. Book now here!
