| About The Artists |
 Florence JoelleWebsite We are always delighted to see Florence Joelle and her great band perform at the Country Soul Sessions. A Parisian based in London Florence Joelle has created her own musical landscape. Touches of blues, gypsy jazz, 1950's rhythm n' blues can all be heard in her lovingly crafted compositions. Her albums Kiss Of Fire (2011), Stealing Flowers (2013) and Life Is Beautiful If You Let It (2016) have all been well received and provide a complimenting musical document to this unique singer and personality. In late 2023 Florence collaborated with London based outfit Tiny Flaws on their EP release ‘More Flaws’ by lending her captivating vocals to the project. For this Session Florence will be accompanied by Ian Marcus (Double Bass/Saxophone), Nick Tomalin (Piano). Don’t miss her…. |
 Cafe ManoucheWebsite We are so pleased that Cafe Manouche will be returning to the Country Soul. A gypsy jazz & swing band, Cafe Manouche are making their stamp on the London musical scene. Inspired by the great gypsy guitar players of old this energetic quartet really know how to swing. Not confined to swing only undercurrents of 1920's hot jazz and 1950's be-bop can also be heard in their music. Fronted by vocalist Natalia Amy Douglas with her natural and soulful style, the twin guitars of Matt Kerry & David Ahmed and Paul Malloy on double bass make up the fine musical accompaniment. |
 Mr John BarnesWebsite John Barnes We are over the moon that the legendary John Barnes will be playing a few tunes for us between sets. Fast approaching his 90th year on the planet, John is a wonderful piano player and singer, a purveyor of old time sing along tunes. Don't miss him. He is simply a class act. |
