Midweek @ Pizza Express Holborn with Jessica-beth with full band and guests
Details
Pizza Express Live - Holborn and Pheasantry - are hands down the London Live Meetup Group's favourite venue. Its lovely stage, lighting and great sound, complete with the classic Pizza Express menu make this a winner.
THE FEEDBACK ON OUR LAST FEW PIZZA EXPRESS GIGS HAVE BEEN OFF THE CHART!! !! We have had super varied shows, and this one is no exception!!
We are thrilled to host the most unique of artists, "popera" artist Jessica-beth who somehow entwines full soprano voicing and pop soul and even rap within a song. Jess is also a remarkably honest and brave singer-songwriter and her band is EPIC. Expect many songs you know but not as you know them, some beautiful originals and two fantastic guests - Matt Kent and Lilla Shy - who will be performing on the night.
- We meet at 6.30pm (order food and drinks and catch up)
- Its a group table or adjacent tables so that we can all enjoy the great vibe together.
- Live Music at 8pm sharp (food and drinks still discreetly served) with a lovely listening audience vibe and really class artists always.
