At The Hope Theatre in Islington a talented line up of musicians and spoken word artists took us on a journey of exploration around the theme of self esteem with show host Sacha Mandel.
The show was simultaneously live streamed on Facebook so even if you couldn’t attend in person you can still watch it back.
The show was opened by Tim Fletcher on the guitar accompanied by Sara Jasmin Page on the piano. We were treated to the first ever live performance of this song!
They were followed by a clever and intruiging spoken word act by Tom Manning. Segun Haughton was up next and he performed his song Valleys on the guitar.
Wordsmith Laurentia Campbell performed a powerful spoken word piece. Laurentia is also featured in episode 4 of our podcast.
The show came to a close with another special performance on the piano by Sara Jasmin Page, accompanied by Tim on the guitar.
