RECENT EVENTS - Late Night Jazz - London Jazz Festival: Ayanna and Gwyneth Herbert

Tuesday 13 November 2012 - 9:45 PM

Ayanna | Royal Albert Hall

Approximate end time: 11.15pm

A delicious combination of two of the UK’s most exciting emerging singer-songwriters Ayanna and Gwyneth Herbert.

Ayanna is a vocalist and cellist who leading the way in Black folk music. She is the first non-American to win the legendary Amateur Night at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, and one of only a handful of people to win with an original composition.  Her performances are intimate journeys that express her experience as a 21st century woman, drawing upon the stories of Sojourner Truth, hope and human relationships as inspiration.

Gwyneth Herbert is an artist who continues to redefine and defy expectations - a singer-songwriter with one foot in the jazz world and one somewhere in the future, who writes beautiful melodies and has a poet’s grasp of the world around her.
