The antidote to the Pride hangover…
The ultimate chillout and recovery from Margate Pride. Expect live Queer Jazz performances from local Margate duo DOLLDRUMS (Jessica Lauren and Ren Kainth) and Hana Amaya, plus a soulful DJ set from Inky.
Drinks offers and (and some healthy stuff!) to help nurse that hangover with great live music whilst overlooking Margate Beach.
Queer Jazz's mission is to showcase and celebrate queer jazz artists and to nurture the emerging queer jazz scene. Founded by Tina Edwards and award-winning jazz musician Arowah.
DOLLDRUMS (Live Debut) A new collaboration from the queer Margate underground - DOLLDRUMS is the she/they fusion of Ren (DJ/producer/sound engineer/field recordist) and Jessica Lauren (soul jazz keyboard player/producer). Ren weaves psychedelic, ambient, and techno textures; Jessica surfs the beats with dreamy soulful keys and spaced-out analog electronica. Together, they create improvised, hypnotic soundscapes - deep, fluid and ritualistic.
Hana Amaya is a London-based singer and trumpet player who plays with feeling and softness. Her music is driven by a love for beautiful places and the stories they tell. She is currently an Artist in Residence at Camden's Roundhouse. Her sound is both sensitive and self-assured, weaving through alt-R&B, ambient textures, and indie soul. With a strong focus on sonic world-building, Hana draws inspiration from rich, feminine atmospheres - places like the sea, the tides, and the moon. These natural elements find their way into her music through field recordings and samples.
