Tim is a veteran of the London music scene, having played since the early 70s (Dorris Henderson's Eclection, The Kevin Coyne Band, David McWilliams, The Gordon Smith Blues Band) through the 80s with The Poor Boys who were resident band every Saturday at The Caernarvon Castle in Camden, semi-retiring in the 90s and then coming back in the new Millenium to help Dorris make here come back album Here I Go Again in 2002, and playing with The Guvnors (headline act at The Ealing Blues Festival for many years. 

After the death of Dorris Henderson in 2005, it was time to go out and form a band, Tim Penn and The Strange Sins, (CD Down In The Deep 2009) and this has gradually morphed into TIm Penn and The Second Line, a good time piano led, NOLA influenced outfit. 

Tim can be seen regularly down at Dom Pipkin's IKO's New Orleans Music Shop jam, every other Tuesday at The Alleycat in Denmark Street, and with his own band down at The Fox in Twickenham. 

“If the band are having a good time and are enjoying the music on stage, then the audience will dig that and have a ball too. That’s how I play and that’s why I play”

Bringing a touch of French flair to Kennington, Brasserie Toulouse Lautrec is a traditional brasserie and wine bar set inside a lovingly refurbished English pub. Managed by two brothers Maitre D’ Nolan & Head Chef Florent, whose parents have run the neighbouring “Lobster Pot” restaurant since 1991, so there is plenty of authentic French charm on offer served by people who love what they do. Set over two floors, the warm and inviting space is divided into a rustic ground floor brasserie and an upstairs piano bar with free entry to professional live music performances played every night.

Thus recreating some of the moments Henri de Toulouse Lautrec was recognised for.

Oriana Curls is a French Jazz Singer-Songwriter based in London. Her talent as a songwriter and her impressive four-octave range voice has already allowed her to work with some of the best musicians, writers and producers throughout London. From such varied and successful artists as Andy Bradfield (Imelda May, Rufus Wainwright), Marcella Puppini  (The Puppini Sisters), and more recently with multi-instrumentalist and producer Koby Israelite (John Zorn) and LA based Grammy award winner Helik Hadar (Madeleine Peyroux).Having been trained classically in violin, piano, opera and ballet, she has a strong Italian and Spanish background that makes her a multilingual singer, being influenced by classical, jazz, Latin and French chanson. Singing about love and relationships, she seduces, moves and entertains the audience with jazzy up-tempo numbers and romantic soaring ballads. Combined with her charming gypsy violin playing and dance movements, she is very reminiscent of the most renowned French names (Edith Piaf), adding some timeless songs to her repertoire.
Having played as a solo artist or with her jazz band in many renowned London's venues ('The Royal Albert Hall Verdi', 'Brasserie Zédel', 'Lagan's Brasserie', 'The Coya', 'The Cuckoo Club', 'The Forge', headlining 'The Troubadour'...), she has recently performed at The Eiffel Tower for the promotion of the movie 'Freedom', event that was broadcasted on the French National news. Oriana is also part of the cabaret show ‘The Guinea Club’ and performed at the 30th birthday tribute for Amy Winehouse at the famous club ‘Jazz After Dark’.
Since the release of her song ‘Love Me Hurt me’, the track has received regular airplay on various radio stations in England (Shoreditch, The Bridge, Severn FM..), and throughout Europe. This marvellous song garnered very positive responses from their listeners, inspiring her to focus on recording more music with the talented producer Koby Israelite, an ep being planned for release later this year.
