Midori Jaeger:Cellist and singer-songwriter Midori makes emotive songs that refuse to fit into a box. She confronts difference, belonging, gender and mixed heritage through a distinct and cello-fuelled sonority that aches with meaning and pulses with groove. Recognised by Moses Sumney and Madison Cunningham for her one-of-a-kind cello and vocal style, Midori’s talent is quickly becoming known worldwide. Her 2021 concept EP 'See Touch Kick and Sweat' gained Jazz FM Late Night Track of the Week, a live performance on BBC Radio London, and a solo set in November 2022 at the Purcell Room as part of the London Jazz Festival. 'What makes Midori stand out from the crowd is her breathtaking songwriting’ (RGM Magazine)

Karima Francis is a critically acclaimed musician and songwriter from Blackpool, renowned for her innate ability to blend haunting melodies with honest lyrics and alluring ambiance. With an ear for music evident from an early age, Karima went on to release her debut album ‘The Author’ in 2009 to widespread critical acclaim. Her consequent album’s ‘The Remedy’ (2012) and ‘Black’ (2016) witnessed further acknowledgment of her artistic abilities and saw her truly begin to spread her wings. Her journey to date has found her playing on Later... With Jools Holland, supporting the likes of Paul Simon, Amy Winehouse and The Stereophonics, as well as working with renowned producer Flood (Nine Inch Nails, Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, Depeche Mode).Entering a transfixing new chapter in her career, Francis found a new rhythm to recording-life on the West Coast of the USA last year. Unfurling a string of earnest and deeply affecting new singles inspired-by and recorded during her time there, new single “Carelessness Causes Fire” continues this new creative streak and directly follows on from previous singles “Orange Rose” “Shelf Life” (released earlier in 2021), plus last year’s “Say”.Wrapping up 2022 with one of her most confessional and profound offerings to date, expect further new material
