We’re delighted to announce that SJM will be bringing Ady Suleiman to the H&H on Sunday 6th March.

A deft songwriter and a singer with soulful brilliance who hails from the outskirts of Nottingham, Ady Suleiman has been earmarked as an artist to watch by the likes of Fader, Beat, Hunger TV, RWD and Line of Best Fit (to name a few). With a rich era-spanning appreciation of music, and an innate need to turn life experiences into narrative, Ady has developed a timelessly classic yet fresh sound and lyrical distinctiveness which has garnered him a broad range of influential fans from both sides of the Atlantic.

After being spotted by BBC Introducing’s Dean Jackson, the half Tanzanian, half English 22 year old was picked by Laura Mvula, Leon Bridges and Lianne La Havas to support them on tour. While Chance the Rapper invited him to feature on his Donnie Trumpet & the Social Experiment album, ‘Surf’, and Joey Bada$$ step up to appear on his recent ‘What is The Score’ EP release. Check out the video below;

This Is Tmrw bring Brighton based quartet Demob Happy to the H&H tomorrow night.

Formed in 2008, the quartet spent the interim years not only honing their sound (think Queens Of The Stone Age sleazy riffs meets early Kings Of Leon’s way with a skittish, rattling hook) but creating a grassroots DIY manifesto in their backyard – or, more accurately, back-of-the-van. Check out the video for their latest single ‘Junk DNA’ below;
