LONDON JAZZ FESTIVAL: Julia Biel + Room Of Katinas/Seb Rochford

Superb folky songwriter Biel curates this new monthly songwriter-led showcase, unveiling new material that follows on from the bewitching jazzy/folksy acoustic material of her acclaimed debut LP, 'Not Alone'. Intriguing support comes from epically Afro'd drummer Rochford's new charming lo-fi folk rock band that features himself on vocals – yes he can sing in a soft, fractured way – that play minimal yet melodic Pavement-esque songs.
