Following the success of their previous events, Gaucho and Hennessy are set to bring live music back to the heart of London with their next Grassroots Music Lates on October 25th, 2024. The highly anticipated evening will take place at Gaucho’s flagship Piccadilly restaurant, offering guests a night of intimate live performances, expertly crafted cocktails, and Gaucho’s renowned world-class cuisine.
The ongoing Grassroots Music Lates series is a collaboration between Gaucho, the UK’s leading steakhouse, and Hennessy, a global icon in the cognac world. Together, they’ve created a platform dedicated to championing emerging talent in the music industry, offering rising artists the opportunity to perform in front of live audiences in a relaxed, sophisticated setting. The October 25th edition will feature two standout female artists: R&B sensation Velysia and Maeve, the lead vocalist of the Brighton-based band Kuuda.
Velysia, a powerhouse vocalist from Norfolk, has been making waves across the UK music scene with her soulful voice and compelling stage presence. Having collaborated with renowned artists like Karen Harding and lent her voice to major campaigns for brands like Mercedes and PlayStation, Velysia is quickly becoming one of the most promising voices in contemporary R&B. Her performance at Grassroots Music Lates is expected to showcase her rich vocal range, blending sultry slow jams with vibrant, energetic tracks.
In contrast, Maeve will deliver an acoustic set, showcasing her talents as the frontwoman of Kuuda, a band known for its electronic collaborations with producers like Sam Divine and Yousef. The band has garnered attention from dance music legends like Rufus Du Sol, and their music was recently featured at Coachella 2024. At Gaucho, Maeve’s stripped-back performance will offer a more intimate glimpse into her artistry, revealing a raw, emotional side of her music.
As London’s live music scene continues to face challenges, with over 120 venues closing in the last year alone, the Grassroots Music Lates series has become a beacon of hope for emerging artists. The initiative provides a space where performers can connect with their audience on a personal level, all while enjoying the elegance of Gaucho’s stylish Piccadilly location. The event is also part of a broader effort to keep live music alive in the UK, offering artists much-needed opportunities to showcase their talent in a time of uncertainty.
With limited tickets available for just £20, Grassroots Music Lates promises a night of exceptional live music in an unforgettable setting. Doors open at 7:30 PM, with performances running until 10:00 PM. Fans of emerging music are encouraged to book early to secure their place at this unique event.
