As lockdown continues, so do live-streamed gigs. This week offers a range of talents, including a couple of festivals, so be sure to tune in when you can!
Who? Gabriela Montero
Where? Royal Albert Home page
When? Tuesday 19th, 7.30pm (BST)
Why? As part of the Royal Albert Home series that has been going on since lockdown started, Gabriela Montero will showcase her unique piano talents this week. She’s particularly well-known for her complex improvisations in performances, turning Classical or famous pieces into something entirely different and unqiue. This live-stream is one for fans of piano, or for anyone who wishes to witness the incredible musicianship of an artist they may not have heard of.
Who? Safe and Sound Virtual Benefit Concert
Where? RSVP here to receive the link to watch
When? Wednesday 20th, 1am (BST)
Why? Safe and Sound is a virtual concert which aims to raise funds for Safe Place for Youth. It’s free to watch, but there are options to donate to Safe Place for Youth. Artists such as Young the Giant, Aloe Blacc, Matt Berninger of The National and Frank Turner will be performing, alongside many others. Despite the slightly inconvenient streaming time, this event is not one to miss as you will be able to watch many artists’ talents. Tune in!
Who? Scouting for Girls
Where? Royal Albert Home page
When? Thursday 21st, 8.15pm (BST)
Why? Also part of the Royal Albert Home series, this band are a classic in British culture. Growing up in England comes hand-in-hand with hearing Scouting for Girls at multiple events, especially tracks from their debut album like ‘She’s So Lovely’ and ‘Elvis Ain’t Dead’. The band headlined the Royal Albert Hall in 2013, so this live-stream will hopefully allow us to turn back time to when we were able to attend live gigs.
