Here, at Bloom Sesh HQ, we wanted this December gig to encapsulate a sunny Sunday afternoon – the warmth of the music cutting through the chilly winter weather, a sonic ‘cwtsh’. Pouring hours into artist research isn’t a challenge when this is the brief, floating through jazz, lo-fi, soul, R&B, and, most importantly, stumbling acrossContinue reading “December – Shantelle King”

September – The Sound of Modesty
Here at Bloom Sesh we are anything but inconsistent… yes, we closed the last show with some fierce rock energy through FIKA and for September, our finale will be no different. Horns in the air people… The Sound of Modesty is here! Perhaps one of the coolest pseudonyms out there, The Sound of Modesty isContinue reading “September – The Sound of Modesty”
September – Marnie Glum
We may be a little biased, but Leeds has an incredibly supportive network of musicians. You’ll often see people in various different bands, or you might stumble across photos of several top-class songwriters collaborating; basically, you’ll see line ups containing friends, colleagues and collaborators (*cough cough* like ours). Charlotte Lynch is a Leeds-based musician whoContinue reading “September – Marnie Glum”
September – Sam Brown
You may well recognise our first artist playing for Bloom Sessions at Wharf Chambers in September! She’s been a regular at Sela Bar, as well as busking on the streets across Leeds and recently played NYMAZ’s Rural Fest 2021. However, if you’ve been unlucky enough to miss out, don’t worry… we’ve got you – SamContinue reading “September – Sam Brown”
August – FIKA
The time has come to introduce you to the final artists for our first gig of Summer ’21… fasten your seatbelts, we’re going punk. The Swedish translation of ‘fika’ is ‘to enjoy coffee with friends, taking time to savour the moment’. Being present in the moment and having fun with friends is taken literally byContinue reading “August – FIKA”
August – Sofa King
When you type ‘Sofa King’ into your search engine of choice, up comes a plethora of questionable showrooms selling you the next best pleather three-seater. We’re not here for that though, rather we’re looking for the lesser known, albeit much more original, ‘pop obsessed transgender individual’ under the same name. Our Sofa King is fun,Continue reading “August – Sofa King”
August – Gordian Stimm
Often you come across an artist whose music is so manifold that is defies explanation, it’s hard to put into words how these sounds materialise without it sounding like a sentence from Lewis Carroll. Gordian Stimm, our opener for August 25th, has a foot in this realm as her music often transcends the expected orContinue reading “August – Gordian Stimm”

In the lead up we’ve spotlighted the musicians who will be taking part; however, in addition to Laura Kindelan and ZAY, we also wanted toContinue reading “March // International Women’s Day 2021 – Olivia Brearley”

However, cupid won’t be catching us too soon because we have none other than breakup song royalty, strong independent women advocate and crepe maker, Phoebe Marshall joining us. With threeContinue reading “February – Phoebe Marshall”
