LIZMNK at THE OLD QUEENS HEAD

SUPPORT FROM WAAW

The Event

Rising artist lizmnk returns to the stage to deliver offerings of new music, a year on from the release of her debut EP ‘Message From Above’, which details her experiences of community, grief and self actualisation. Following the success of the EP’s launch party, the alternative jazz artist, poet and producer now hosts a single release party in the form of a “sacred, ethereal experience”.

Her newest single, ‘Sun Is My Lover/Mirage’, released through AWAL and sonically inspired by the likes of Alice Coltrane, Massive Attack and Nina Simone, is the centre of this event. Join her for a night of illuminating and transcendental music and performance, including a full live band and supporting acts Yaz and Waaw.

In the centre of Islington sits the prestigious Old Queen’s Head. Dripping in character and period décor, this truly beautiful venue plays host to some of HOT VOX’s finest. Experience some of the greatest new music in an exquisitely intimate setting, you saw them here first.

The venue

The unassuming exterior of this 17th century establishment in Islington, beguiles it’s rich heritage and it’s recent History. Situated just off of Upper Street in the heart of Islington’s night life, it’s renowned for more than just a convenient thirst quencher.

Decorated in period chandeliers, wall length leather booths and boasting an open fireplace or two it’s every inch the lavish and spacious live music venue we’ve come to know and love. This place has played host to more than just a few drunken publicans with the likes of ‘The Kooks’, ‘Bombay Bicycle Club’ and ‘Foals’ to name but a few, gracing the stage. Not to mention a few DJ sets from the ‘Ninja Tunes’ Roster, it seems there’s more to this ‘Pub’ than meets the eye and there’s plenty of life in the old girl yet.
