Sanderson Sessions

Following a spectacular performance by Singtank to launch Sanderson Sessions 2012, the second act is now confirmed as AlunaGeorge on 27th June 2012.

AlunaGeorge, vocalist Aluna Francis and producer George Reid, hail from London and produce electronic tracks laced with R&B, Pop, and effortless cool. The newest single by the group, entitled “You Know You Like It”, is a sweetly sick bass-ridden track that perfectly showcases Francis’ accent-tinged subtlety beautiful vocals. Their EP has already received high praises from Dazed & Confused magazine, NME and Wonderland.

For the last three consecutive summers Sanderson Sessions (previously Sanderson Predicts) has played host to some of the UK’s most innovative and exciting new bands. The series is returning this summer, with the iconic Sanderson Courtyard playing host to a series of unique performances in its unrivalled central London outdoor setting. Hotel guests and visitors will be able to hear some of the hottest names on the UK and international music circuit while soaking in the delights of evening sunshine.

Previous sessions have played host to Violet (with Pixie Geldof), The Shoestrung, Glasser and Yasmin and was have been attended by special guests Sir Bob Geldof, Nick Grimshaw, Ellie Goulding, Edie Campbell, Jamie Winstone, Alfie Allen, Patrick Wolf, The xx, Solange Knowles, Louise Gray, The Big Pink, Mary Chateris, Alison Mosshart, Tim Noble and Sue Webster.

Famed for its private Courtyard and cut-above-the-rest eclectic cocktail offering at Long Bar, Sanderson is the perfect setting to enjoy these musical offerings and kick-start the summer festival season.
