Performances

Join us for an invigorating evening of inspirational music, soundscapes and spoken word pieces from some truly extraordinary artists of the future.

THURSDAY 20 APRIL 2023, 7PM – RICH MIX (LONDON, E1 6LA) & LIVESTREAM

Shining a light on talented artists who are often marginalised, as part of a special collaboration 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, Luke McCarthy, Macelino and Reese Quinlan have been selected from alumni of the Irene Taylor Trust’s Sounding Out programme for former prisoner musicians and Making Tracks, an initiative for young musicians facing barriers. Over a two-year period, the Emerging Artists are receiving individual mentoring, engaging in opportunities to work collaboratively and share learning, and being 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 and Kris Halpin.
