Nishla Smith - it’s getting late you’d better go home (Album Tour)

About

PLS NOTE: DOORS OPEN AT 6PM FOR A 6.30PM SHOWTIME (SHOW DURATION IS 6.30PM-8.10PM) Vocalist and songwriter Nishla Smith has established herself as one of the most distinctive voices in UK jazz – a natural storyteller whose music balances intimacy, imagination and emotional depth. This special concert celebrates the launch of her new album, it’s getting late you’d better go home, released on Whirlwind Recordings in 2026. Written during a time of personal upheaval, the album explores belonging, absence and the shifting spaces between closeness and distance. Musically, it moves effortlessly from gospel warmth to bossa rhythms, bluesy swagger and Bacharach-style harmony – all anchored by Nishla’s luminous, unmistakable voice. She is joined by a hand-picked quintet of close collaborators: Mark Fitzgibbon (Piano), Ben Roberston (bass) and Danny Fischer (drums) . Expect elegant songwriting, subtle improvisation and the quiet command of an artist at the height of her storytelling powers. it’s getting late you’d better go home was made with support from Arts Council England’s Lottery Projects
