At the helm is Jess Hayes—a commanding performer whose voice draws comparisons to Bonnie Raitt and Susan Tedeschi —bringing grit, emotional depth, and a magnetic stage presence to every performance. She is also the lead vocalist of Connolly Hayes , a Europe-touring, multi award-nominated band celebrated for its electrifying fusion of soul, blues, and rock. Jess first emerged on the South London scene as a teenager, shaped by a childhood steeped in classic rock and soul from her musician parents. She quickly built a reputation as one of the most compelling young voices among the blues and soul cognoscenti. More recently, she earned a coveted four-chair turn on ITV’s The Voice. Emerging on the London scene from the ‘W3 Jam Sessions’ now hosted at Ronnie Scott’s, and joining Jess for this performance, is Mike Mayfield , the lead singer and co-writer for the band and the self titled album that grew out of the those sessions; Bassment Project . One of the highlights of the album features a duet with the late great Betty Wright . After this period he spent time sharing the stage and travelling the world as a musician with acts as diverse as Emeli Sandé, Labrinth, Jamie Cullum, Joss Stone and recently RAYE to name a few. Returning to his own creative instincts, Mike released his debut EP ‘Hard Up’ in 2019. In the last few years Mike has supported Paloma Faith on a run of UK shows, toured the Netherlands and was included in radio performances live on the Robert Elms and Gabby Roslin BBC Radio shows. He is also included as a featured artist in the live album and theatre show ‘Both Sides Now – Homage to the Songs of Joni Mitchell’. “…already creating high expectations and excitement within, and beyond, the blues/rock/soul community…” – Great British Rhythm & Blues Festival Line up: Jess Hayes – vocals Mike Mayfield – guitar and vocals Joe Mac – keys Beau Barnard – bass Andy Wilder – drums Instagram Website
