Michelle Escoffery and Jazz Re:freshed present the long-awaited return of the seminal Kindred Spirit, a night of eclectic soul, R&B, jazz and spoken word. After a long hiatus, the musicians behind London’s well-loved Kindred Spirit nights shine a light on a new generation of UK talent, alongside a selection of artists who performed in the original events. Featuring a line-up of up-and-coming and established musicians, including Tawiah, Molina, Randolph Matthews and Eve Collective, featuring Bembe Segue, Zena Edwards and more to be announced, with musical director for the night, Dominic Canning, this event is a triumphant return to the stage. The live music night, also known as Kindred, was founded by Ivor Novello and Brit Award-winning songwriter Michelle Escoffery and quickly grew into a premier monthly live event in London between 2000 – 2009. It became home and development ground to many of the UK’s finest artists, including Brit- and Grammy-nominated Corrinne Bailey-Rae; Slam Champion poet and author Kat Francois; Mercury Prize-nominee TY; and more. Kindred’s ethos to create a non-elitist, high quality experience for lovers of eclectic musical expression still stands. Same stage, same band, reunited with new energy.
