NATALIE DUNCAN
Vocal, keys, bassTues 26 & Weds 27 Oct

A firm favourite at the Wet Fish, these nights with neo-soul artist Natalie Duncan are moody, bluesy and spellbinding.

Natalie's voice and driving piano, song after song, will warm your heart and stir your soul.  Guilt, heartbreak, heartache, the mundane and the profane told through riding melodies.  Simply unmissable.

Natalie recently released her new album 'Free', a mix of neo soul/ R&B/ Jazz, and the first release on Goldie's new label.

Only 12 tables for two available.

"An absolutely drop dead gorgeous vocal" – i-D

"Dark, honest, prodigiously accomplished and quite beautiful" – Times

SAM BROOKES
Vocal, guitarWeds 22 Sept

Bristol-based alternative folk artist Sam Brookes returns with his intricate guitar playing and mesmerising 4-octave vocal – often compared to Bon Iver, Tim Buckley and Ben Howard.

Darkly intimate, Sam's music is confessional and moving.  His recent album "Black Feathers" is described as "a meditation on grief"... and yet his live shows leave you feeling uplifted and enriched.  

A firm favourite at the Wet Fish, don't miss your chance to see him perform in such an intimate setting.

"The guitar playing is exquisite, the vocals sublime. As a singer and songwriter, Sam Brookes is already entering the highest echelons." Folk Radio

“He excels at propulsive, narratively rich folk, delivered in a soaring, clear-as-a-bell singing voice” – The Sunday Times

“There are vast emotional reserves at work” – The Independent

ANDREW ASHONG
Vocals, vibraphone, guitarWeds 18 Aug

He's back!  And this time he's bringing a vibraphone 😁

Gilles Peterson Worldwide Award winner, Andrew Ashong, returns to the Wet Fish with his fresh soul sounds and summery deep grooves.

Ashong’s live shows are an evolution... He's a groove-builder, adding new layers and arrangements to his music that make these shows truly unmissable. Recognised by many as a "Figurehead of the UK soul scene", he'll take you on a soulful journey like no other.  

Only 10 tables for two people - come get lost in the sound...

Described by The Guardian as “a hazy, jazzy dreamer of a young soul rebel who in his music references Roy Ayers and Shuggie Otis, Bill Withers and Marvin Gaye.”
