SUMMARY:Monique Clare - Live Cello
DESCRIPTION:Wielding a cello\, powerhouse vocals and magnetic onstage energy\, Monique Clare is a multi award-winning songwriter who’s deeply personal storytelling and arresting authenticity has elicited cathartic tears and laughter from audiences around the world. Her intrepid career has ranged from teaching music in war-torn Afghanistan to playing cello with Eminem to a crowd of 80\,000 people\, touring her acclaimed album ‘Sight’ to festivals across Europe and leading hikers up mountainsides for sunrise concerts.

SUMMARY:Zaid Hilal UK Tour 2026
DESCRIPTION:Spellbinding Palestinian folk-rock-and beyond\nZaid Hilal is a Palestinian singer and composer from Bethlehem\, carrying forward a living musical heritage shaped by memory\, resistance\, and everyday life.\n“As Palestinian artists\, we don’t only preserve heritage\, we build on it. We create new music that grows from it\, music that reflects our present reality and the struggles we continue to live through.” Zaid Hilal\nThis will be a solo act with backing tapes including Zaid’s field recordings of Elders’ remembered  songs of resistance.  The venue is a famous community venue with a particularly fine beer selection.\n\n\nMichael Loader will be joining Zaid on stage to add a tonic of trumpet to some of the songs and tell stories from Palestine and the Arabic world.\n\n\nZaid’s 2025 UK tour was a great success.  Here’s what one punter wrote at the Elementary Festival \n“There are moments when music becomes more than sound\, it becomes collective prayer. This set at Elementary Festival deserves its own story. When Zaid took the stage\, his voice carried more than melody\, it carried memory\, longing\, resistance\, and love. As we chanted back “Hala lala layya” with him\, we weren’t just singing we were remembering. Rooted in ancient folk song\, these words echo a love so powerful it would be “written on birds’ wings. Carried by wind. Etched in tears” In that moment\, we sang not just for one another\, but for all who long to be free. For Palestine. For the ones whose songs are interrupted. For the voices that rise even when silenced. It was joy… It was resistance. It was ancestral rhythm meeting modern grief. And it was holy. May we keep singing. May we never forget. May our voices carry around the world. How wonderfully blessed to be present with this”  Maggie \nIn the Middle East Zaid is a rising star with over a  million youtube hits and multiple thousands of followers.  See instagram @zaidhilalofficial\nAnd his thriving youtube channel.  Also his website https://zaidhilal.com \n\n\n\nEvent Details\nDoors Open at 7:00PM\nFrom 7:30PM to 10:00PM
