Join us for an invigorating evening of inspirational music, soundscapes and spoken word pieces from some truly extraordinary artists of the future.
Shining a light on creatives who are often marginalised, this showcase gives a platform to four incredible Emerging Artists who have been supported by experienced musicians from Drake Music and the Irene Taylor Trust to develop their artistic voices and share their unique stories, as part of a special collaboration supported by Arts Council England.
The evening will feature special guest performances from Drake Music artists, Miss Jacqui and Kris Halpin. They will be performing alongside the Irene Taylor Trust’s emerging artists, L U C I N E, Luke McCarthy, Macelino and Reese Quinlan – four young alumni artists from the charity’s ‘Making Tacks’ initiative for young musicians facing barriers and its ‘Sounding Out’ programme for former prisoner musicians.
For those unable to join us at Rich Mix in person, a livestream is available.
