The series starts on Thursday 13th November with guitarist, singer and songwriter Rosie Frater-Taylor, who will be making her third appearance at the venue since her Worcester debut in December 2022. Her third album Featherweight, released in February 2024, marks a stylistic shift from her previous recordings, deftly blurring the boundaries between rock, alt pop, neo soul, new-school jazz and folk whilst tackling an array of themes including self-reflection, vulnerability and anger. Her previous album Bloom has amassed over 4 million streams online. Led Zepplin’s Jimmy Page lauded her exceptional “connection with the guitar” following her performance at the Gibson Garage launch in London and British soul star Seal said of Rosie they “haven’t heard anything so exciting and original since Amy Winehouse”.

Nurtured by London artist development organisation Tomorrow’s Warriors, Allexa is a member of the all-female Latin band Colectiva and performed regularly in the band with “Paradise Under the Stars”, a Cuban cabaret show that ran from March to September this year in London.

On Sunday 30th November, alternative RnB singer and songwriter Czafari. from Tipton is set to perform in the fifth event of a new “Sunday Service” program launched by the promoter in May, featuring soul, gospel, RnB and reggae on the last Sunday of the month.
