This is a very small group class: maximum of 4 attendees and a minimum of 2. So you will speak directly to the tutor.

Known for her emotive vocals, sharp lyricism, and refined aesthetic, she creates songs that feel both intimate and expansive—equal parts diary entry and film scene. Following the release of her EP Soft Whispers in a Crowded Room and a string of singles including Meet You There, Shadow, Spare Key, 2D, and Hush, Hazel Rose has continued to build a growing international audience drawn to her honest songwriting and distinctive sonic world. Her music explores love, distance, identity, and emotional nuance, often pairing vulnerability with quiet confidence. Equally at home on stage with a full band or in a stripped-back acoustic setting, Hazel Rose’s live performances are immersive and emotionally resonant, showcasing both her vocal range and her natural connection with audiences. With new music on the horizon—including a forthcoming Bossa Nova-inspired pop project—she is steadily establishing herself as one of the most compelling emerging voices in Europe’s independent pop scene. **[WATCH HAZEL ROSE HERE](https://youtu.be/4-GMMk36bx8?si=CHyHEsJrghv0WgtS)** **Edna Louise** London based Edna Louise is a singer-songwriter and guitarist from the French Riviera. Her musical inspirations take their roots from the Neo-Soul Music mixed with Jazz, Funk and Disco, distilled in the Pop Music canvas, to create a unique sound. She has played widely at jazz venues across London and recently headlined a sold out show at The Lower Third. **[WATCH EDNA LOUISE HERE](https://youtu.be/-uaHw4fWvt0?si=kUFXBCDxSMWNbQ7y)** * *We meet at 6.30pm (order food and drinks and catch up)* * *It's a group table or adjacent tables so that we can all enjoy the great vibe together.

Join Us for a Hot Choc Mob Evening! We’ll be hitting the streets of London with something simple but powerful: warm drinks, snacks, and human connection. The Hot Choc Mob is a group of volunteers who believe a small act of kindness can mean a lot to someone sleeping rough or living through a tough time. We’re not a charity or religious group—just people who care and want to make a difference in our city. You don’t need any experience to join us. You’ll be welcomed by our walk leader and introduced to the group. From there, we’ll spend about an hour sharing hot chocolate, food, clothing, and friendly conversation with people who need it most. Afterwards, if you’d like to stay, we’ll regroup at a local pub to share stories and get to know each other. Items to bring along that are highly appreciated include bottled water or juice, soft fruit, tinned sardines, new socks, boxer shorts and t-shirts. And if you have a flask for hot water - instant coffee, tea bags, instant hot chocolate, sugar and milk enable us to make hot drinks for those we meet.

**DD's Café** is a friendly café in Coulsdon that serves a good selection of all-day breakfasts, lunches, sandwiches and daily specials. It's earned [very good reviews](https://maps.app.goo.gl/tqszkx3YyaKuHbPN9) online! It's easy to get to from central Croydon (only a few steps from a 166 bus stop) and will bring us most of the way towards Banstead Woods where - weather permitting - we can go for a walk afterwards. Hopefully the bluebells will still be out, but if not it's still a lovely place to walk off a fry-up! \-\-\- The Croydon Brunch Club is held on the 2nd weekend of every month. It's an opportunity to meet others from in and around Croydon over a relaxed coffee or brunch, dished up by the great chef. All are welcome to this informal and relaxed monthly gathering of the great and good of Croydon. This is a social networking event and is not the place to pitch your business, dish out fliers or sign people up to services. Please contact organiser Ben if you would like to collaborate on something you feel is relevant to the group.
