The Womack Sisters

Born into a family of music royalty, the sibling trio are ready to step into the spotlight.

The sisters are the granddaughters of the legendary Sam Cooke, daughters of songwriters Cecil and Linda Womack, and nieces of R&B icon Bobby Womack. Soul as the foundation of their sound.

Putting words to heartbreak on their debut EP “Legacy”, The Womack Sisters – BG, Zeimani, and Kucha – are ready to make a mark in the R&B and pop world with music that “runs through the motions of life, what you do when you have nothing and how you get yourself back up”.

Peven Everett
2023-03-18 08:00 - 17:00 | The Blues Kitchen, 13 Quay St, Manchester, M3 3HN, United Kingdom
It is rare for a singular voice to define an entire generation of music, but the soulful harmonies of Peven Everett do just that.

Shaping the world of electronic music with his timeless productions, the US vocalist and multi-instrumentalist has been at the forefront of the global dance scene for well over 25 years.

However, the virtuosity of this artist cannot be constrained to one genre and in 2008 was voted the best RnB artist in Chicago by the readers of the Chicago Reader.

We are honoured to have the legend of house, garage, RnB and beyond play our stage for very exclusive performances.

COOPS - Lost Soul Album Launch
2022-10-12 19:30 | The Blues Kitchen, 13 Quay St, Manchester, M3 3HN, United Kingdom
Coops… the UK phenomenon well known for his rich catalogue of soul infused hip-hop, has just announced the release of his newest LP “Lost Soul 2”. Since the release of the original Lost Soul album, Coops’ journey in music has led to him revisiting the concept of the iconic release with a fresh perspective and a decades worth of musical experience.

“Before making lost soul 2 I had to revisit Lost Soul. I didn’t want to replicate Lost Soul and probably couldn’t even if I tried. I did however want to reconnect with the early processes that were behind the making of that first album and then allow it to evolve. it is not a continuation but an evolution. An evolution of sound and styles, writing and production and of personal growth and maturity.”

Throughout his late teens Coops was making music with his friends, but it wasn’t until he looked at himself and the world around him that he changed his writing approach and decided to go it alone. “I’ve always had the mind-set that if I’m true to myself and where I am, as a social commentator or looking inside myself documenting that stage of my life, then I’ll have endless material.”

Having already built a strong momentum for himself with several releases under his belt ( ‘What Do You See’ in 2011, ‘Lost Soul’ in 2014 & ‘God Complex’ in 2016), Coops signed to High Focus Records in 2017 and quickly released two critically acclaimed projects in just a year – the introductory ‘No Brainer’ and the full length opus ‘Life In The Flesh’. Returning in 2020 with the existential masterpiece ‘Crimes Against Creation’, Coops questions the current state of hip hop, politics, and the world.

The Lost Soul tour is a Live showcase of the new album, which is taking place across the UK throughout October and November.

Ida Nielsen (NPG) & The Funkbots
2022-10-07 19:00 | Band On The Wall, 27 Swan St, Manchester, M4 5JZ, United Kingdom
Bassist Ida Nielsen’s life was turned upside down when music legend Prince discovered her in August 2010.

Shortly after, she joined his band and started touring with him and The New Power Generation as well as the four piece power house rock band, 3rdeyegirl.

Ida was part of his bands from 2010 until his untimely passing in April 2016.

She describes playing with Prince as “a huge gift and as the most magical musical journey ever, and an on-going learning experience beyond all imagination.”

After the years with Prince, Ida started to focus on her solo career.

Ida has been releasing music on a regular basis and has increased her touring schedules tremendously since 2016. Ida and her band the Funkbots are delivering a high energy funk show packed with good vibes, tight grooves and subtle references to her former employer and teacher Prince.

Ida was voted amongst the top 10 bass players in the world (together with fellow bassists Stanley Clarke and Victor Wooten) in the annual Music Radar poll 2019.
