SUMMARY:TNL: Flo/ra
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday Night Live: FLO/RA \nFlo/ra is a contemporary jazz quintet led by saxophonist and composer Flo Taylor (Ferg’s Imaginary Big Band\, Goddess Collective). Their music explores themes of neurodivergence\, identity and grief through emotionally honest\, intricately arranged compositions. Flo/ra crafts a sound that is expansive yet deeply personal and vulnerable\, that invites the audience to be part of their world\, while feeling safe to come just as they are. \nThe music draws on influences from classical\, spiritual jazz\, folk\, drum and bass and chant music to avoid comfortable classification\, and to express Flo’s inability to fit comfortably into boxes themselves. The saxophone-led quintet features electric guitar and double bass\, enabling a wide variation of tone from heavy and distorted to gentle and fragile. \nFlo/ra sold out their debut performance at Hyde Park Book Club in January and have since built strong momentum on the Leeds scene. Flo/ra played a recent highlight performance at Lancaster Jazz Festival\, where their highly anticipated debut album was recorded. \nThis will be the final home date of their album release tour promoting their debut album. \nFlo is joined for this gig by a great lineup of Leeds Jazz scene regulars:\n– Callum Greenaway on piano\n– Thomas McEwen on guitar\n– Woody Hayden on upright bass\n– Louis Berthoud on drums\nAdvance tickets £8/£7 available from HEART reception and online \nOn the Night £10

SUMMARY:TNL: Kristina Stead
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday Night Live: KRISTINA STEAD \nDoors 7pm Music 7.15pm \nSonic Sunshine Storyteller Kristina Stead is a hopeless optimist in a hopeless world. A songwriter who refuses to settle for surface-level pop\, she blends introspective storytelling with intricate arrangements influenced by artists like Anais Mitchell\, MIKA and boundary pushers such as Kate Bush. Her music carries a bright\, joyful energy even when the themes are heavier. Every song is built with care\, curiosity and emotional honesty. \nHer work stands out because she tackles cultural pressure\, burnout\, identity\, insomnia\, family and the quiet truths people avoid\, all while wrapping them in catchy hooks and vivid imagery. She aims to bring artistry and critical thought back into pop music at a time when much of the industry leans on boring formulas. Her songs act as little epiphanies\, nudging listeners to look at the world differently. Her mission is to shine her light in the darkness of this world\, exposing the toxic habits that society normalises\, while also bringing back joy in to music. \nKristina Stead is not escapism. It is illumination. It is pop with purpose\, created for real people who want to think\, feel and wake up from numb Consumerism\, and step into a joyful sonic landscape of intentionality\, purpose and meaning. \nAdvance tickets £8/£7 concession available from HEART reception and online. \nOn the Night £10
