Absent Kelly Presents Sonic Sketch: West On Sunset

Full Line Up: West On Sunset, Shakira Alleyne, Ruby & the Revelators, Rosie Whittle, Meron T

Absent Kelly are getting funky at Notting Hill Arts Club again this February!

West On Sunset are a London band, playing a modern, melodic and powerful mix of funk, soul and retro-styled pop songs. This huge nine piece are sure to get you moving with their hugely infectious and feel good sound! They may be relatively new to the scene but they have already had a great response from audiences and promoters, and we can see big things for them too!

Providing support is Shakira Alleyne, a London songstress who will be joined by her band for the evening to play her brand of ambient alternative soul, reminiscent of the likes of Lapsley and James Blake, that has seen her feature on BBC Introducing.

Ruby & the Revelators are a Bognor Regis based outfit who play a fresh, yet nostalgic take on soulful funk. Topped by stunning vocals, the band’s sound has seen them bag numerous great reviews, with Blues in Britain calling them “the next big thing on the UK blues scene”.

Rosie Whittle will be there too. Rosie is a singer songwriter from London who writes simple but infectious pop songs that has seen her championed by BBC Introducing. With Rosie’s distinctive and delicate vocals, we’re sure she’ll go far.

Opening the show is Meron T, a talented London based Neo soul artist with an absolutely sublime voice! Meron is turning heads wherever she plays at the moment, and once you hear her, you’ll see why!
