Michael Kiwanuka

Delicately soulful singer-songwriter Kiwanuka, most definitely in hock to Bill Withers and Al Green, topped the BBC’s Sound of 2012 list and picked up a Mercury nomination for both his debut album and the follow-up, ‘Love & Hate’, which arrived last year. Hearing him air those heartfelt-but-catchy songs live, through that powerful voice, should be a treat.
