Hello All,

I am really excited to let you that I have been selected to perform at this year's decibel showcase in Manchester www.decibelpas.com.  I will be performing with a full band on Wednesday 14th September 2011 at 11:15pm at Zion Arts Centre Theatre, Manchester.

Myself and a group of amazingly talented musicians are currently putting together the set which is a live interpretation of my studio album 'From the Darkness to Light' (out this autumn).  This basically means we have all put on our creative caps to create a set which will bring out some of the influences you hear in the album - so far we've been adding lots of arabic arrangements and have even added in some rock music.  So the result with be a fusion of Neo-soul, RnB, Hip Hop, Arabic music (and some Rock) - it is sounding amazing I can tell you!! Soon I'll be posting up a video of us rehearsing so you can get a taste of what's to come :-)

Wanna give a shout out to Drew Horley (Producer for Me, Natalie Williams, Ty, Emmanual Jah) on drums, Kiris Houston (of Bens Brother, Rox, Estelle John Legend Tour) playing keys and acoustic guitar. Stefano Tsourelis (who also works with Dave Clayton of Simply Red and Depeche Mode) on Oud (arabic guitar) and electric guitar, and last but definitely not least John Calvert (who has played with Roisin Murphy and Natalie Williams) on bass.

The gig is only open to decibel delegates (to register click here) and the good news is that they are all national and international promoters and programmers so the idea is that we'll be bringing the show to you guys from October onwards.

Will keep you updated!

Thank you kindly to the Arts Council England for funding this opportunity and project.

Love, peace and blessings,

Noraay x
