Emsworth Trombonist and Folk Singer of The Year

Connolly fronts the band and is a flautist as well a powerful vocalist; her input onstage with Honeyfeet moves between jazz, brass, funk, blues balladry and folkloric texture. The band’s lineup consists of Lorien Garth Edwards on bass, Ellis Davies on guitar, John Ellis on keyboards, Phill Howley on drums and Biff Roxby on brass, to form a fluid and fearless musical unit.

Connolly is much respected across musical genres. She joined Annie Lennox on stage at the Royal Albert Hall last year for a landmark concert entitled “Sisters: Annie Lennox and Friends”, sharing the bill with such top artists as Celeste and Nadine Shah.

The band’s performance is at Westbourne Community Hall and a rare opportunity to catch these virtuoso performers in a local and intimate venue.

Friday 20th November at Westbourne Community Hall, River Street, Westbourne, West Sussex, PO10 8TG. Doors open 7.30 for an 8pm show unreserved seating; Licensed bar serving Langham Brewery
