Lucy-Anne Daniels & Tom Harris

Grounded in the vibrant sounds of gospel and jazz, Lucy-Anne Daniels is a vivid storyteller, creative improviser, and fierce performer. With ‘a voice mature beyond her years’ (The Scotsman, Jim Gilchrist), Lucy-Anne’s effortless control of melody and powerful interpretation of lyric, invite you to partake in a musical communion. For this performance, she debuts a fresh body of work inspired by texts from Maya Angelou, James Baldwin, intertwined with traditional music from her Nigerian heritage and beloved songs by Black British and American artists.

The Room in The Garden

Toby Freeman and Charlie Davis will be playing Fabiano do Nascimento and Sam Gendel's album "The Room" in Bedford Fields Community gardens in Woodhouse. This is a beautiful space which rarely hosts live music so we are really excited to bring this performance as part of Leeds Jazz Festival.

All proceeds from this event will be going towards 'The Hangout', an inclusive youth club for 11 - 16 years olds to socialise, explore identity and get creative! which is based in East Leeds.
