A few months ago when I discovered Raina's debut album "If They're Mine", it played on repeat for about a week. I was loving her jazzy/R&B sound and soulful, sassy vocal. Based in New York, I wondered if she might be performing in London anytime soon...

Lo and behold she had a couple of shows scheduled in February and next thing you know - we've added a date at the Wet Fish! How very lucky we are.

Hailing from Brooklyn, Raina was born into a family of musicians. Music runs deep within her veins. She's making waves on the New York music scene, packing prestigious venues such as Brooklyn Bowl and Rockwood Music Hall... Come and see why!

Her voice is deep and sultry and her sound is 'pop-noir' with jazz stylings. Imagine nuances of Nina Simone, Nancy Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Henry Mancini and Fleetworrd Mac. Irresistible.

"Absolutely amazing" Ray Davies

Get ready for another sell-out music dinner with the captivating Sam Brookes - a second chance if you missed him last time.

Sublime voice, beautifully crafted songs. His shows at the Wet Fish have been superb.

Not your stereotypical ‘folk bard ‘ his love of singing and performing has been evolving since his days as a chorister, singing for the Queen at her private Chapel in Great Windsor Park; add to this his training as a gilder and Sam already stands apart from his contemporaries.

Immaculate phrasing, beautifully modulated delivery... Check him out on Spotify, you'll soon have him on repeat.

Expect a quiet and intimate performance from an artist who's making quite a name for himself.

Blended harmonies, unexpected rhythm changes, major keys changed to minor -- mid-song no less -- their music is irresistible and tickles us every time.

Another ground-breaker for the Wet Fish, come enjoy the ride!

ALMUNIA
Summer Solstice Sundowner
Sunday 21 June, 5pm onwards...

New territory for us... this'll be an evening of sound-scaping.

I love a Pink Floydy (Floydy?!) guitar sound, and I love smooth deep house grooves. Put the two together and you get Almunia - a duo from Italy whose album New Moon (check it on Spotify) makes me feel way cooler than I really am.

Lucky us they're making a rare visit to London and celebrating summer solstice with a live performance at the Wet Fish. Soak up the vibe with a Tom Collins or if you're really feeling it, a Negroni!

Sunday 21 June from 5pm - drop in for a cocktail or book yourself a table for dinner. Easy.

SMITTY'S BIG FOUR
Jazz & swing!
Weds 28 Jan

“a lively, friendly, swinging, civilised new band playing approachable music…a welcome addition to the London scene…definitely a band to watch out for” LondonJazz News

The little brother of the Kansas Smitty's House Band, the Big Four plays the music of Sidney Bechet and the upbeat swing of 1930s New Orleans.

The Big Four's unique combination of trumpet, soprano sax/clarinet, guitar and bass, separates the group from traditional Dixieland groups with the omission of drums and piano.

This streamlined formation allows the band to navigate New Orleans and swing standards with energy and tightness while maintaining melodic integrity. The band features Pete Horsfall, Giacomo Smith, Dave Archer, and Ferg Ireland.

Best book quick as this'll be popular. Feel free to wear a hat ;-)

Oh boy are we looking forward to this one. Step into a 1920s speakeasy with the best toe-tapping jazz from the era - Cole Porter, George Gershwin... delivered in the style of Louis Armstrong and Fats Waller...

The Basin Street Brawlers are London's own master exponents of hot jazz, swinging their way through the most beautiful melodies and raucous rags of the 1920s and 30s.

This will be another great night of food, music and well, who knows...

EMILIA MARTENSSON
Jazz duo
Weds 6 Nov

After a summer break, live music at the Wet Fish is back with a very special act - Emilia Martensson accompanied by Barry Green on keyboard.

"The new face of British Jazz 2012..." The Observer

"...intimate, poised and even otherworldly..." Metro

"...Ethereal voice..." Time Out

"Barry Green... as well as being a strong soloist he is something of a singer's dream accompanist." Jazz Breakfast

Their debut album, And So it Goes, documents the duo’s shared love of a wide range of material, presenting fresh and exciting arrangements of a superb choice of songs. Drawing on the wistful folk songs of Emilia’s homeland alongside some of the greatest songs of the last century, the recording is a finely poised blend of jazz and artful alt-pop.

For sure, the jazz vocal legends inform Emilia's approach, yet it is the Swedish folk songs of her country that underpins who she is. Her pure, clear toned intimate voice, at times deeply soulful, at others ethereal, blur the lines between folk and jazz.

LOUISE GOLBEY
Neo-soul
Weds 1 May

This Wednesday 1 May and enjoy dinner with an intimate performance by Louise Golbey - one of the hottest talents on the London circuit right now.

The soul songstress is a new firm favourite on BBC radio; she's just been selected for this year's Isle of Wight Festival; last year she opened for George Benson at Kenwood and performed at Glastonbury...

...and next week she's at the Wet Fish for one night only.

If you've been tempted to experience one of our live music dinners, this would be the perfect night to come along.

MAYA ISACOWITZ
Solo show
Weds 14 Nov

It's no wonder Maya won the prestigious 'Best New Artist 2012' Akum award in her home country.

“... an extraordinarily emotive, warm and soulful voice...”

Listen to her album 'Safe and Sound' on Spotify, you'll soon have it on loop. It already sounds like a classic.

This is a one-time opportunity to see a rising star perform a solo acoustic gig - her UK debut - an intimate affair for invited guests and Wet Fish regulars.

EDDINE SAID
Spanish soul
Weds 3 July

We've invited Eddine Saïd back for another atmospheric evening of 'jazz club' style dining with his acoustic soul trio - Sunday 3 July.

Eddine has stripped down and adapted his sound especially for these acoustic performances at the Wet Fish.

His success on the Spanish soul and R&B scene comes from mixing Bossa, Rumba and Blues with his North African roots.
