Shows coming up

This Sunday, 14th June I’ll be singing with Paul Richards at his regular Sunday gin and jazz session. It’s a really great local pub, great food and friendly staff and atmosphere. Paul runs the Tuesday Jazz Jam at the Brunswick and has several great regular gigs in Brighton and Sussex, have a look at the poster and treat yourself to some great live music with different musicians each week.

Songs of the Summer with Chris Coull Quintet

This is one in the series at St Andrew’s Church in Hove. Chris Coull has been running this weekly concert for 5 years now and it’s really gained momentum. He’s has different bands each week with great local musicians as well as jazz heavyweights such as Claire Martin, Alan Barnes, and Vasilis Xenopoulos to name a few.

Our concert is called ‘Songs of the Summer’, some bossas, some swing, some ballads, all in this beautiful church. I hope you can come.

St Andrew’s Church, Church Road, Hove BN3 2FN

(second chance to see) Songs of the Summer with Chris Coull Quintet

Chris and I and the quintet are also at the Ropetackle in Shoreham playing our Songs of Summer concert. The Ropetackle is a fantastic venue with a fully equipped theatre where we will be performing. This will be a special one too.

I think that’s it for now!

Here’s a link to a lovely post that Matt put up on instagram recently…

And for those who don’t have instagram, how about a really old video.

Here’s me and my dad just playing for ourselves as we did a lot back then. For those with keen eyes will wonder why we look a bit different, well it’s because the video got flipped somehow along the way, so not only am I 12 years younger, I’m also back to front!

All the best, Ela x

Mailing list & Facebook

To find out about my gigs, you can either join my emailing list (drop me a line to elasouthgate@gmail.com), or follow me on Facebook.

My email list gets a little more advanced notice of gigs coming up than Facebook, plus I’ll send the odd nice link to something I’ve been listening to that week. I don’t send lots of emails, only every so often, and of course you can unsubscribe at any time.

Come and say hi on instagram too, though my postings about gigs are a bit more random!

Above is the lastest email I sent out, so you can get a feel for what you’d be signing up to, and also to see the listings of course!
