RECENT EVENTS - hush in association with Amazing Radio

Monday 4 March 2013 - 7:45 PM

Nadine Shah

Approximate end time 10:30pm

Amazing Radio is the only radio station in the UK committed to new and emerging music. Together with the Royal Albert Hall they present an evening of live performances with presenters and musicians from their ever-expanding catalogue of new music, amazingtunes.com.

Headlining this show will be the hotly tipped Nadine Shah with an all-star support from Reuben Hollebon, Eliza & The Bear & Kerry Devine all curated by the DJs at Amazing Radio.

Nadine Shah

To say that Shah can sing well is a gross understatement. Of Pakistani and Norwegian parentage, Shah possesses a voice that blends the resonance and smoky soul of her heroes Julie London and Billie Holliday with a shape-shifting melodic intensity gleaned from the Hindu Ghazals sung by her father. The result is a balance of poise and mournful passion that is all the more striking for the subtlety Shah employs to control it.

Shah's collaboration with Ben Hillier (Blur, Depeche Mode, Elbow, U2) has drawn comparisons with an ever-expanding - and not to be sniffed at - list of artists. Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, Massive Attack, Portishead, Nine Inch Nails, Marianne Faithful and Shirley Bassey have already been mentioned in relation to the tracks that will make up debut album 'Love Your Dum And Mad'.
