Sound:Check Live At St John's
Expect stripped back and intimate sets that take full advantage of the church hall's truly awesome acoustics, in a setting as dazzling as the music. Each artist will be given a 20-minute almost completely un-amplified acoustic set, with nothing but a church organ, a baby grand piano, a string section, and an all female choir to accompany them, each artist will perform in a style they are unaccustomed to, giving a rare insight into their talent and versatility
This month's event includes performances by soul singer songwriter, Alice Russell, who is currently riding high following the recent successful release of her fifth album ‘To Dust’ (and, as The Independent recently quoted "one of Britain's best kept secrets”). Gideon Conn, previously playlisted on XFM and a guest at BBC Radio 1’s Maida Vale Studio for a session with Huw Stephens, brings his blend of folk and hip-hop as well as his unique performance style to St. John’s. His set will feature Sound:Check’s very own conductor and singer Stac.
