About this event
Curated by Malibu Sessions, join us at Band on the Wall on the Autumn Equinox to witness a fantastic night of R&B/Soul, welcoming in the new season. With music made to warm your hearts as the chill creeps back into the air, be ready for gorgeous melodies, caramel-like vocals and tunes created to have you swaying side to side. Tsana Tsana is Manchester’s soul songstress, known for her silky vocals, expressive runs and unmistakable soul-rooted tone. Blending sultry R&B with a timeless, emotive edge, her sound nods to icons like Erykah Badu and Brandy while carving out a fresh, modern identity of her own. Kiké Kiké is a Neo Soul singer from Manchester. Her sound brings R&B, Gospel and Neo Soul together to create a fusion of old school soul, with a new school flair. Influenced by the likes of Jill Scott, Cleo Sol and contemporary Gospel artists – she continues to develop her Neo Soul sound while implementing elements of her faith and African heritage into her work. Mali Hayes After support from Future Bubblers, The MOBO’s and DJAG, as well as being featured as one of Clash Magazines Artists Set To Rise, Hayes’ continues her journey perfumed with vibrant real life stories, coloured with honesty and soul. From various radio airplay (BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 1xtra, Jazz FM) to numerous support slots (Bilal, Jamila Woods, Alfa Mist, Poppy Ajudha, Sons Of Kemet, Yazmin Lacey) a collaboration with Foreign Beggars and Maverick Sabre under her belt, Mali continues to establish herself as an artist of real vision, dedication and drive. Isaac Malibu Hailing from Yorkshire and now based in Manchester, Isaac Malibu is the epitome of male R&B vocal performance. With a buttery smooth tone, effortless vocal runs and lethal falsetto, Malibu is skilled at building a world of love and emotion; inviting listeners in to truly be authentic in their feelings. One of the main singers at Manchester Cathedral’s Luminiscence, a part of Factory Sounds 2026, a regular at Leeds’ Domino Club and now with gigs at Matt and Phred’s, Yes! and Stage & Radio, Malibu is on the come-up in Manchester as an artist to pay attention to.
