Easy Listening II

Come and join us for a night of fantastic music to raise money for Read Easy Islington, a voluntary group providing free, one-to-one reading coaching to adults in Islington who cannot read or who struggle with their reading. Featuring: * ASHAINE WHITE: From the effortless silken riffs to the vulnerable lyricism to the dark, swirling undercurrent of the musicality, Ashaine's music is a freeform amalgamation of all her broadest loves and identities. But ultimately, she just wants to be the kind of artist she would have loved as a young Black girl growing up in Enfield - someone being 100% herself, no matter what the world tells her she needs to be. (https://www.ashainewhite.com/) * SOPHIE STEWART: Sophie is a queer indie singer-songwriter based in London. Flitting between confidence and vulnerability, her music explores the themes of identity, longing and belonging as she hurtles through her twenties. Influenced by the likes of Courtney Barnett, Julia Jacklin and Marika Hackman, she weaves observational songwriting with gritty, melodic guitar lines.

The upstairs bar is open from 4pm, so feel free to come along earlier to grab a drink or two and maybe one of Aces' delicious pizzas!
