This Is Tmrw & Moseley Folk Festival will be joining forces to bring Algeria’s Imarhan to the H&H on Wednesday 3rd August.

Touring in support of their self titled debut album Imarhan are intent on dismantling the ideas western listeners have about popularized Tuareg music. This new wave of Tuareg musicians sound very different to the desert distortion that accompanies groups like Mdou Moctar or Group Inerane. Instead, it finds a calm and passionate soul, provides sumptuous slow burners, and a complexity of composition that hasn’t been demonstrated by previous music exported from the Saharan people’s musical repertoire. Check out the video for their single ‘Imarhan’ below;

Next Wednesday 27th July Neo Soul songstress Conya Doss lands at the H&H to perform songs from her new album.

Conya Doss has a voice that sounds like it’s both from the past and future. She is classical-influenced, blues-influenced, R&B-influenced and rock-influenced, which herein lies the brilliance of how she collectively and seamlessly creates great music.
Perhaps it was the birth of her son Landon Blu in 2010 that helped to provide inspiration for her fresh material, which is filled with bolts of newfound creativity. Doss has been juggling her responsibilities as teacher, mother and artist. “It’s been a challenge trying to effectively balance all of these things, but I’ve been patient with myself and this project,” explains the songbird. All of Doss’ album titles are authentically steeped in the spirit of growth and change. The New Album VII was released on 19th May 2015 and can be found at all good outlets. Check out her single ‘Love’s Not’ below;

We’re pleased to announce that This Is Tmrw will be brining Ultimate Painting to the H&H on Tuesday 4th October.

U.K. duo Ultimate Painting formed when Jack Cooper’s band Mazes were on tour opening for James Hoare’s group Veronica Falls in 2013. The two guitarists decided to team up and create music that was unsullied by any digital processes. After exchanging demos and making one failed attempt at recording, they began working on tape machines set up in Hoare’s flat. The duo spent a few months getting their Velvet Underground and classic ’60s and ’70s pop-inspired sound together, with Hoare on bass and Cooper on drums, and both singing and playing guitar. The first recorded song, “Ultimate Painting,” gave them their name.
