Leddra Chapman returned to Acapela Studio, with a fun, amusing and lively performance.

Leddra, with her band, dominated the Acapela music room with their chilled-out and unique songs all written and performed by Leddra. Throughout the evening Leddra and her band enchanted the audience changing effortlessly from guitar to piano. She engaged the audience encouraging requests, conversations and shoutouts during the show which added to this unique concert. Leddra’s songs are emotive, full of fun, flirtatious, sometimes angry, other times sad.

Supporting Leddra was the fabulous Caitlin Lavagno.

Caitlin stepped in last minute to open Leddra’s show after finishing an acting role and completely astounded the audience. Her personal songs were unique and was the perfect introduction to what was to follow.

In the unique Acapela Studio, Leddra felt totally at home and delivered a beautiful evening of music.

The Remi Harris Hot Club Trio bring swing jazz to Acapela Studio.

Remi Harris, Chris Nesbitt and Tom Moore make up this fabulous band. The trio bring together European Swing , Gypsy Jazz and Blues, while also paying tribute in parts to Peter Green, their inspiration. The trio provided a combination of fast and slow paced songs with acoustic guitar, cello and bass. The dynamic tone of the evening mixes well a variety of songs including classics such as ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’ by The Beatles.

Past plaudits have come from Martin Blues MBE “master of both genres” and the performance is full of “artistry, virtuosity, musicality, and deeply felt passion”. Cerys Matthews says that Harris is “a brilliant guitar player”. But you should come and see for yourself! Find them on Facebook.

The trio are rewarded with a standing ovation – a performance which delivered excellent musicianship as well as some incredible memories.

Acapela Studio has so many more fun, vibrant acts coming this year and it’s not to late to get tickets.
