An always-eclectic line-up of jazz, funk and soul bands, singer-songwriters, poets and spoken word artists.
Saturday 9th August 2025
Headline Act: Annabelle Boissonnet (France) & Batekes Band
Annabelle Boissonnet’s musical journey began in her hometown of Marseille with the rock band Jagged Joy. Her extraordinary talent brought her to London to collaborate with the wider range of musicians, from Sufi to Ska, that the city nurtures. 2022 saw the release of her first solo album ‘Persona’. The recordings reveal the full range and expression of this powerful voice and is complimented by the intimate and reflective lyrics of her songs, exploring personal stories with a poetic honesty.
Equally at home on stage or in the studio, Annabelle is currently writing and singing with the North London group Vibe Machine and the East African musician JJ Adamson, as well as performing with her own band, an intimate group that explores her own musical history with a focus on vocal harmony and poetic expression.
The Orchestra play an eclectic mix of World Music, with inspirations from reggae, funk, jazz, Sub-Saharan African and Arabic Music.
All compositions performed are original, with bandleader Johnny Mooney (Bass Guitar & Vocal), Paul Carey(Drums), Ania Nizio (Vocals), Trevor Westcarr (Guitar), Ian Solomon (Guitar), Henry Knudsen (Sax) & Iyaz Awan(Percussion)
