Global Soul Monthly Residency
Performing Live
Orchard
The newest eight-piece neo-soul group to emerge from the London jazz scene. Having met at Guildhall School of Music and Drama, they have been shaped by their shared love of the jazz tradition, and yet bring their most valuable contributions to the music through individual influences and unique musical backgrounds.Heavily influenced by artists such as Roy Hargrove, Robert Glasper and Kokoroko, Orchard’s music synthesises meaningful songwriting with heavy grooves, warm horn lines, and blistering improvisation. Having met on the Artist Masters course, Orchard’s sound is fully grown - they released their debut single, Honesty, in November 2024, and their full EP in April 2025.
Martha AB and Asa Martinson
Martha AB is the singer and co composer of Asa Martinson & the Outlet, a collective that blend Jazz, afrobeats, Rnb and neo-soul. In a duo set up, Martha and Asa met at the Julian Joseph Jazz Academy and have been writing ever since, gigging at venues around London including Ninety-One Living Room, World Heartbeat, Notting Hill Arts Club, and recently at Pizza Express Live Dean Street.
