About this event
Janileigh Cohen’s music began quietly. Songs written in a shed at the bottom of her grandmother’s garden in rural Lancashire, inspired by Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell. Those early, solitary beginnings have since rippled outward in unexpected ways. A piano cover of Nick Cave’s The Ship Song led to a sync in the acclaimed Australian film Blueback, while her rendition of Jackson C. Frank’s timeless Blues Run the Game featured in an episode of the Emmy Award–winning US drama This Is Us. Her debut album ‘As a Child’ released on March 11th 2026, was recorded with an array of stellar musicians from Manchester to Nashville, made possible in part through the generous support of her listeners. Following the release of the album, she will be joining Eric Bibb on his UK tour in March 2026 & headline tour in November 2026. It is a quietly assured debut, born out of a longing for a family, forgiveness and learning to let go. Doors open 7.30pm. Music starts 8pm. The venue is mixed seated and standing. Tables are limited, and available on a first come first served basis, so if you’d like a seat , we recommend arriving early!

Traditions this room works in
Tags on the venue. Other London rooms carry the same lineage. Not a claim that this film invented the tradition.
Also playing this week
Same kind of night (music) in London. Spread across the week, not a ranking.
A different kind of night
Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
