  2. Lady Nade Sings Nina Simone: A Celebration of Her LegacyRenowned for her distinctive and award-winning vocal prowess, Lady Nade possesses one of the most singular voices in the UK music scene. Critics and fans alike have often drawn comparisons between Lady Nade's voice and the legendary Nina Simone. An artist known for paying homage to those who have profoundly influenced her journey, Lady Nade holds Nina Simone in high regard.

Simone's tenacity encouraged them not to abandon their dreams and aspirations. Lady Nade is honored to celebrate Nina Simone's life and enduring legacy alongside some of the UK's most accomplished musicians. This high-energy performance is a heartfelt dedication to recreating the transformative sound that blended popular tunes of the era into a distinctive fusion of jazz, blues, gospel, and folk music.

Nick was brought up with soul music constantly playing in the background, thanks to his Father’s love for the genre and obsessive collecting of rare records. Hailed by The Guardian’s Tim Jonze as having “an innate understanding of classic soul songwriting”, Nick’s co-writing credits include Laville, Emma Noble, and Lack of Afro as well as Abi Farrell and Carmy Love, who have both released singles on Big AC Records. Nick is the singer and main songwriter of New Street Adventure, who released two albums on the legendary Acid Jazz label: 'No Hard Feelings' in 2014 and 'Stubborn Sons' in 2017. He subsequently self-released his debut solo album “Sweet Escape” in June 2020, garnering acclaim from Craig Charles (6 Music), Robert Elms (BBC London), and Paul Moody of Q magazine. After a 6 year hiatus, New Street Adventure completed a 13 date UK tour in Autumn 2024 to mark the 10 year anniversary of the band's debut album, 'No Hard Feelings', which has been reissued on limited edition coloured vinyl by Acid Jazz.
