Doors at 2pm for a 2.30pm start

Live from the Oak Room, "HEARD Collective presents" is a new gig series curated by the HEARD Collective, an afternoon of chilled acoustic music showcasing some of London's finest female singer-songwriters: Michele Stodart Official, Fetherstone & Harriet Langley, Daisy Chute and Cerian.

HEARD Collective is an all-female artist collective founded to promote and support women in music, to try to re-dress the balance of the under-representation of women in the music industry. Co-founded by multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriters Daisy Chute and Cerian after they met in the studio recording vocals for Radiohead’s latest album "A Moon Shaped Pool", in their first year the collective has toured the UK and America, recorded a single at Abbey Road Studios for International Women's Day and had TV and radio appearances.

Come along and enjoy your Sunday afternoon at the club in Covent Garden with a roast dinner accompanied by some of the finest singer-songwriters in London!

Performers
Cerian | www.cerianmusic.com

Described as "the purest voice on radio" (BBC) and selected as one of Music Republic Magazine’s “ones to watch” in 2019, London singer-songwriter, Cerian, is a multi-instrumentalist and sponsored artist of Rees Harps. Having sung with the likes of U2, Radiohead, Thom Yorke, Sam Smith, Imogen Heap and Charlotte Church, she is now taking on the world with her own brand of contemporary ethereal folk-pop. Cerian was classically trained in voice, harp, piano and guitar and has been described as a cross between Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell and London Grammar, weaving together soaring melodic vocals and rich harmony with poetic lyrics. Her latest single "Caught in the Dark" has already garnered glowing reviews and BBC Radio play, and is the title track of her debut EP, to be released later this year.

"Cerian has that rare type of compelling vocal that effortlessly captures its listener's attention with its extraordinary range and purity."
-When the Horn Blows


Daisy Chute | www.daisychute.com/

Daisy Chute is a folk songstress, multi-instrumentalist and regular on the London music scene, and as a member of H Club for almost 10 years she's one of the most booked performers at the iconic Vin's Night In and Vin's Veg Out lineups. Formerly of Decca’s platinum-selling classical group All Angels, she is excited to be working on her début album of original songs with producer and songwriter Tim Baxter (Andy Burrows, Editors, Nick Mulvey). Represented by Talentbanq and an award-winning artist, Daisy came first in the Coffee Music Project singer-songwriter competition with her song ‘London’s on Fire’ which took her to America for a month of touring and writing sessions last year. The song has now been released with accompanying music video and is currently being played in Caffè Neros worldwide alongside Daisy's other singles I Left My Heart in Rio and Troubadour Boy. Daisy has been lucky enough to be mentored by songwriting rock royalty Sir Ray Davies and is one of Paul Sexton's 'top music tips' for 2018, with comparisons to Laura Marling, Simon and Garfunkel and Joni Mitchell (BBC Radio Kent).

"Beautiful, exquisite melodies, insightful lyrics and a wealth of wonderful musicality makes Daisy an artist that is destined for great things" - Soho Radio


Michele Stodart Official | www.michelestodart.co.uk/

Michele Stodart is a solo artist as well as bassist, vocalist and co-songwriter with much loved, Mercury-Prize-nominated The Magic Numbers. The band recently released their fifth studio album, Outsiders, in May 2018 to great critical acclaim. In 2012, Michele self released an album of her own songs, Wide-Eyed Crossing, a southern drenched journey into Americana country blues. "I never thought I'd release a solo album, but I needed closure from those songs, so recording them was the only way to truly move on." Michele continued writing, and started using her skills on bass, guitar and backing vocals, which led to many projects on stage and in the studio with artists including Kathryn Williams, David Ford, Ren Harvieu, David Kitt, O'Hooley & Tidow amongst many others. Michele later signed to none other than Bjork's record label One Little Indian releasing her second solo album Pieces in 2016. She is set to record a new album this year.

"Steeped in languid melancholy... [it] sits in a rich tradition that encompasses such touchstone female performers as Karen Dalton, Judee Sill... Allison Moorer or Gillian Welch... 'Pieces' may just be the most impressive record she's ever made" - 8/10 - Uncut


Fetherstone & Harriet Langley | www.fetherstone.com/ | https://harrietlangley.bandcamp.com/

Aussie born, Bri (Fetherstone) and UK born Harri (Harriet Langley) have been playing side by side for 2 years now, in both Fetherstone and Top Cat Collective, at shows around London. With a passion for songwriting, exploring the unknown and extended bestie chats over a glass of red wine, the two have teamed up as a new collaboration to see where their music meets both on stage and off. The collaboration saw Bri and Harri writing a song together for the Acoustic Guitar Project and is taking them touring the UK and Australia together, writing new music and generally having a blast. You can expect to hear a crossover of soul, jazz and electro-pop, heavily influenced by the likes of Little Dragon and Lianne la Havas.
