Lady Nade comes to WOMAD on the back of recent sell out performances at the Bristol Folk House, Bath Chapel Arts and Green Note London. Her voice speaks of long-lost jazz clubs and has a poise that belies her age. Drum and bass legend Roni Size has praised Lady Nade as “another hidden treasure from Bristol” and Ian Matthews of Kasabian has described her as “unique, wonderful, deep and soulful with a voice which has the power to move you.”
