The GREEN NOTE BASEMENT SESSIONS has been a regular night for almost at year. Hosted by Lucy and Arazoo, it is a night for new and upcoming artists to have the opportunity to perform their music in an intimate setting in one of the most loved venues in London. This sell-out night has become such a favourite that for one night, we are moving upstairs with some of our favourite acts from the past year, who have since gone on to do wonderful things in the music world….

She is currently working on her debut album, which will be released early in 2017.
