Mencap’s Little Noise Sessions are heading to Hackney to once again showcase a series of performances from some of the hottest names in music. Famed for capturing stripped back music in an intimate venue, the Sessions give the audience the chance to see something truly special each night.
On Tuesday 22 November, we welcome Elbow to the Altar, as they headline this year’s opening night. With two platinum albums, massive critical acclaim and stadium shows under their belts, Elbow will bring their award winning sound to Mencap’s Little Noise Sessions. Supported by an exclusive solo performance from Maverick Sabre, a singer songwriter who has his name ringing around the world right now and rightly so!
Elbow front-man Guy Garvey said; ”We are dead proud to be added to the list of amazing bands that have done the Little Noise Sessions for Jo Whiley and Mencap. In fact we have organised a warm up tour of Europe before the show to make sure we are in tip top condition when we play!”
