Reservations from 5.30pm | Music: 9.30 - 11.30 pm
Led
by singer Hilary Mwelwa, this superb band have performed at festivals all over
the world, sharing stages with a host of iconic stars including James Brown and
D’Angelo. Born in Zambia and raised on a musical diet of Aretha Franklin,
Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye,
Mwelwa possesses what the Boston Globe described as ‘a beguiling voice with a whiff of Whitney here and a scoop of Chaka there.’ With a string of critically acclaimed albums under their belt, their sophisticated sound is an intoxicating mix of smooth soul and R&B that blurs the lines between Lauryn Hill and Sade.
‘A beguiling voice with a whiff of Whitney here and a scoop of Chaka there.’ Boston Globe
‘It’s rare in the soul arena for UK-based acts to genuinely give the Americans a run for their money, but Hil St Soul do just that.’ BBC Music
