Simba Sessions Presents: Kris Mizzi, South Isle & Jo Yang

The Simba Sessions is a small, monthly, community-ran evening of music, poetry and story, curated around a theme.

Music, poetry and the arts have always held up a mirror to society and culture. At The Simba Sessions we nurture and celebrate creativity and diversity, understanding that the stories that lay behind the art are often as powerful as the art itself.

As our artists share their stories, we confront our own.

This month we showcase Kris Mizzi, alt-folk duo South Isle, and poet Jo Yang!

Join us with for a ‘quiet night out’ to explore our stories in poetry and song, in candle-lit warmth. Always, special night, this will be a night not to miss!

Theme: TBA
