Keeping Grandma | Roundhouse Online Film Fund Festival 2024 Roundhouse 2024-01-31 | Keeping Grandma explores themes of identity, generational trauma, isolation and immigration issues. I want it to shed light on the injustices that people have gone through and which many still face today as part of the Windrush history. It also highlights the affect it has on not only the adults but the children. Who are often kept in the dark for their ‘benefit’.Keeping Grandma is not only a story about potentially losing the matriarch of a British-Nigerian family. It’s also about how that family came together in a time of desperate need to stay united.Written directed by Yemi Adegbulu.

Girl Ray: Hub Sessions Roundhouse 2022-01-21 | Emerging North London Trio, consisting of Poppy Hankin (guitar/vocals), Iris McConnell (drums), and Sophie Moss (bass) are fearlessly unbound by genre.

The Indie band then released their Debut album, ‘Earl Gray’ which drew inspiration from C86 and timeless Carole King. It has been described by some as folk pop reminiscent of the 70s.In dissatisfaction of writing their next album in the same vein, Girl Ray fearlessly ditched their previous formula and released ‘Girl’, a delightful sun-kissed tribute to their love of pop and R&BWith folk-tinged pop melodies inspired by the likes of George Michael, & ABBA And a newly found love for Pop-R&B credited to Ariana Grande, Girl Ray are a sonic blast of uncompromising idiosyncrasy with a lustrous future ahead of themBeneath your feet at the Roundhouse lies The Hub, and here in this stunning, hidden space we have been recording intimate performances with some of the UK’s most incredible emerging artists.

According to Chua, the song is about “rebirth and finding the inner strength to rise”. “If Antidotes 1 was Chua building the landscape and scenery for her music,” reads a statement for the new EP, “then Antidotes 2 is her living within it.”Beneath your feet at the Roundhouse lies The Hub, and here in this stunning, hidden space we have been recording intimate performances with some of the UK’s most incredible emerging artists.
