Join us for an unforgettable evening with internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Nessi Gomes, whose music has touched hearts around the world through its honesty, beauty, and emotional depth.

Nessi Gomes is a British-Portuguese songwriter born on the island of Guernsey. Her music doesn’t try to lift you above life. It walks you straight into it. She writes with a quiet intensity, where beauty sits beside fear, where longing doesn’t ask to be solved, and where the darker corners are given air, not shame.

There are flecks of her Portuguese roots in the way she moves through feeling, the ache, the longing, the stubborn hope, but nothing about her is performance. She writes to know herself. She sings to stay honest. Music became the space where she could exist on her own terms, after years of feeling caught between cultures and never quite 'fitting' anywhere else.

Nessi’s music gently explores themes of belonging, resilience, vulnerability, hope, and the courage to stay authentic in a world that often asks us to wear masks. Whether you’ve been listening to her for years or are discovering her music for the first time, this promises to be an intimate evening filled with presence, connection, and songs that linger long after the final note.

“Hauntingly atmospheric and lushly textured nods to Björk & Kate Bush.” — Paul Lester, The Guardian

Opening performance by Rocky Velvet -

Rocky velvet offers sultry, sonic, and somatic love. She is mother, musician, mystic, and moon gazer, guided by nature’s rhythms and ancient whispers. She sings, loops, guitars, pianos and poets. Dancer, drummer, and dreamer. She communes with the elements, harmonizing with plants, and galvanizing with light.
