I am based in Manchester. So I Come a long way for the London gigs but they’re so worth it! 

It was an incredible privilege to be a part of the Chineke! Orchestra and collaborate with Anthony Parther in performing Black Panther in concert.

The electrifying energy from the remarkable talking drum soloist, Massamba Diop, truly elevated the entire performance.

Watching my girlfriend perform with the respected Chineke! orchestra to the Black Panther movie was an unforgettable experience.

It was my first time being part of such a remarkable fusion of talent, where her contribution alongside the orchestra showcased the transformative power of music.

The performance left me in awe, igniting a deep appreciation for live performances and the collective artistry that brings the magic to life.
