CANALSIDE SESSIONS // ORPHY ROBINSON & CLEVELAND WATKINS // LIVE MUSIC
Grow, E9 5LN , [Venue Details]Join us for an extraordinary Sunday afternoon of free music in an intimate, reimagined canalside venue.
We’re honoured to welcome members of The Blue Planet Orchestra, some of London’s most exceptional and adaptable musicians, performing completely free in this special setting.
Orphy Robinson and Cleveland Watkiss are two of the UK’s most celebrated and influential musical figures, each with a remarkable legacy that has shaped British jazz, soul and beyond.
Orphy Robinson is a multi award winning musician known for his mastery of tuned percussion. Across four decades he has appeared on more than one hundred recordings, earned accolades including Jazz FM’s Live Performance of the Year and Gold Award, and is one of the few UK artists to have recorded for Blue Note. His contributions have been recognised with an MBE, an appointment as a Visiting Fellow at Jesus College, Cambridge, and key leadership roles at The Ivors Academy, the National Jazz Archive and Black Lives in Music.
Cleveland Watkiss, an acclaimed vocalist, composer and actor from Hackney, has carved out a genre defying career that spans Lovers Rock, jazz, experimental music and major stage productions. A co founder of the pioneering Jazz Warriors, he went on to win the Wire and Government Jazz Award for Best Vocalist three years running. His collaborations reach across generations and genres, from Stevie Wonder and Björk to The Who, Soul II Soul and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
