Poetry, music, performance and community in one of Shoreham's most famous spaces.

Welcome to Kollab - a warm and welcoming evening on an eccentric and cozy houseboat, jam-packed with music, words and a beautiful attentive audience!

This October we warmly welcome Brighton alt-pop artist Lu'Ami and songs and strings from local band Stella Maris.

As usual the mic will be open to all forms of creativity and all levels of experience. Please email katrinabysea@gmail.com before the event to request a slot.

There's no bar, so please bring your own drinks, hot or cold, alcohol or otherwise.

Doors open 6.45pm and we'll start promptly at 7pm

Looking forward to seeing you,

LU'AMI

Alt-pop artist Lu’Ami mixes live vocalised loops with electronically produced sounds to create a bed of Icelandic pop, neo soul, electronica and jazz, overlaid with catchy pop melodies. Her sound has often been compared to artists such as Erykah Badu and Björk.

She has toured Europe as main support for Town of Cats and comedian Arthur Smith, and has appeared at major UK festivals including Shambala, Green Man, and The Great Escape. Shows of note include iconic venues such as Ronnie Scott’s, The Troubadour, Brighton Dome, and The Spice of Life.

Collaboration and connection remain central to Lu’Ami’s artistic ethos; she consistently works with fellow musicians, tours internationally, and actively engages her audience through social media, cultivating meaningful connections with listeners wherever she performs.https://www.instagram.com/fredhillsmusic/

STELLA MARIS

Stella Maris is a newly formed Shoreham quartet, gathered around Karen Murphy's heartfelt songwriting and guitar playing, with lyrics to make you ponder and melodies that will stick with you. Olivia on cello, Chris on bass and Sonali on violin together take the songs to the next level.

KOLLAB FEEDBACK

"Wanted to say thank you for a really lovely open mic last night. This morning was the first time I have woken up feeling joyful without and dread dreams in the night for about two weeks. You created a really safe space and welcoming event. Loved your poems and they way you perform them is so engaging and absorbing. Marvellous. Thank you"

"Kollab last night was fab, and you hold the space in such a lovely, relaxed, friendly, helpful, kind, and yet still very organised (!) way. Also, amazing poetry! I've never been to anything like that before. I enjoyed it so much I will definitely be aiming to come to more"
