ANOUSHKA LUCAS
“"When first watching her perform, it was clear to all that she had a natural and rich talent and was confident enough in it to just simply... sing! She has a beautiful tone to her voice"”
Neil Cowley (Love Supreme)
One of the most talented singer/songwriters of her generation, there's a great deal more to Anoushka Lucas than just "a girl with a guitar". Her first EP, released in 2009, showcased her terrific, pure and characterful voice and her second, released in 2011 and entitled "Left to my Own Devices", featured her inventive, musical and witty compositions. Her big break came when she appeared at the first ever Love Supreme Festival in 2013 as the winner of their "Discovery" competition and more recently she has been touring and performing both as a solo artist and with her band. She continues to write music for the theatre and was recently featured on Jo Whiley’s “BBC Introducing” Radio 2 special, where Jamie Cullum described her as ‘a classic voice’. In a style that has been described as "sultry, sensual and sassy" this talented artist will be performing this evening with her band featuring Joseph Costi-keyboards and Yusuf Ahmed-drums. Following her highly successful show at this year's Edinburgh Festival she is promising to unveil some brand new material, making the evening just that little bit more special.
