GIVE & GIG to a great cause close to everyone’s hearts!

Come for a chilled evening of live music at The Bedford in Balham, raising money for Cancer Research UK in memory of Mark Elliott and all those loved and lost.

100% of your ticket proceeds will go straight into funding vital cancer research here in the UK, to help save lives and beat cancer sooner.

Mark Elliott was a life long music fan, who loved sharing his favourites and new finds with his family. Mark also encouraged his daughters to play, perform, and make music of their own, wanting them to share in his passions, and generate even more music for his own listening!

Sadly in 2020 Mark was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer, and passed away shortly after his diagnosis. His family are organising this event in his memory, and for all those no longer with us - 70% of donations raised will be sent straight to funding vital research for oesophageal cancer, with the remaining 30% supporting all the other life saving work done by CRUK.

If you can’t make our GIVE & GIG evening, but would still like to help us raise money, then any donations, big or small, would be greatly appreciated on our fundraising page. Click here to donate.

SISTER GRACE - BAND OVERVIEW

Sister Grace is a Manchester based band originating from Paris to London. Their musical background evolves from rock, to hiphop, sometimes touching on Latin American music. The mix of inspiration collectively becomes a heartfelt songwriting base mixed to a fresh sounding production to create a contrast with the “live band” sound. Lyrically, the band reaches out to anyone through topics like philosophy and existential questioning, but also relatable everyday relationship stories.

Sister Grace redefines the concept of what a modern “boy band” is.

SOUL TRIP - BAND OVERVIEW

SoulTrip, the female-fronted collective, infuses smooth RnB vocals into the art of Jazz and Neo-Soul. Formed in the heart of South London, they’re known for captivating ways of spreading soul-binding peace, happiness and knowledge through their music. Their performances are garnered with praise from the youth of today and their sound revisits what makes music so powerful: passion, creativity and feel.

Once their sounds leave a personal realm, they‘re free to be interpreted however the the audience deems appropriate. In 2023, they continue to illustrate their stages of self-growth, the definition of our artistic expression and their adoration for music.

EVELYN - BAND OVERVIEW

Evelyn is a 19 year old singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based in London. Being brought up on artists such as Joni Mitchell and Bruce Springsteen, Evelyn has formed her own unique style which she is hoping to bring to the London Music Scene. Her originals are inspired by genres such as country, 90s rock, jazz and many more. Evelyn’s songwriting process is highly focused on the meaning behind the lyrics, allowing her to connect with the audience. As well as her interest in songwriting she also plays the saxophone; bringing an exciting sound to her songs.

DOVE ELLIS - BAND OVERVIEW

Dove is an Alt-RnB artist from Ireland, currently living in Manchester. He’s written songs since he was a child, saying “it has always been my most helpful method of exploring my emotions and ideas”. His songs often reflect on relationships, family and change. He records and produces his music himself, and plays all the instruments on his songs. Dove takes inspiration from a wide range of influences, such as Dijon, Prince, Bob Dylan, Talking Heads and Steve Lacy. He moved to the UK aged 18 to pursue his music career, and over the last year he has sang in the Manchester arena, played a homecoming show in Ireland to a packed room, and is eagerly anticipating his first release. Expect a live set full of theatrics and energy.
