We are delighted to invite experimental world/jazz artist Nouria Bah and band to Piano Smithifeld.

With roots in Senegal/Guinea, Nouria Bah grew up in the US before moving to London in 2011. Since then, she has taken part in various experimental/indie projects.

Her debut EP "Don B4" (Peach Records) and single "Sawtooth Ruler" has received widespread acclaim, including a spot on Bandcamp’s New & Notable list, radio play on BBC R6/Introducing, Voices Radio, NTS, Soho Radio, Selector Radio, Radio Helsinki, Resonance FM, Jazz FM, and a creative grant from The White Pube who described her music as “… like listening to two hands holding each other, tender, loving, careful, overlapped.”

She has performed her music at award winning festivals including We Out Here and EFG London Jazz Festival.Her live set has been described as “...charming, bashful but powerful”.

With support from Lucy Wroe

London based Lucy Wroe is an artist testing musical boundaries, drawing inspiration from songwriters like Caroline Polachek, Adrienne Lenker, and Radiohead. Her ever-evolving sound took shape with the mellow-pop EP Same World (2022), followed by Better (2023) and the electronic-pop EP WAVES (2023). Lucy's journey hit a turning point with the release of ballad “Heartbeat Wipers”, marking the close of a musically transformative year, followed by the alternative pop single “The Vault” in 2025. With the release of the tender single ‘Always’, she continues to redefine what’s next.
