We had an incredible night back in May at the Emergent Artist Showcase with our friends at The Irene Taylor Trust, celebrating the culmination of a two-year partnership supported by Arts Council England.

Watch it back now!

ITT provided this brilliant summary of the night:

“L U C I N E showed her warrior spirit, Muminah enchanted us with her self-described ‘sad girl vibes’, Reese Quinlan bared his soul – they were all phenomenal, individual, beautiful, inspirational… “songs from the soul” as one audience member put it. The sets from the Drake Music associate artists were awesome; Miss Jacqui sounded fantastic with the ITT band backing and had the audience in the palm of her hand; Elizabeth J. Birch blew everyone away with her live looping & sampling and pristine vocals; there were glorious collaborations and moments to hear from the artists, with our amazing host Lucy Drever guiding us through the evening. Superb work from our two BSL interpreters and captioner made it a truly accessible event.

HUGE thanks to the wonderful ITT musicians Charles Stuart, Rex Horan and Rob Willson, who accompanied the artists beautifully & allowed them to flourish – and to all the ‘behind the scenes’ crew at ITT & DM who make these projects & events possible (big it up for Jake & Kitya!) – and of course the brilliant staff at Rich Mix”.
