Bristol 1904 Arts presents Grace Sheene

by Jack Calloway

About this event:

BRISTOL 1904 ARTS is thrilled to welcome a worthy constituent and the rising star of jazz vocals in the UK, the wonderful Grace Sheene. We make a very simple prediction: we are going to be hearing a lot more of this vocalist Grace Sheene.

Kentucky-born, trained in London as an actor, her way with songbook standards is something very special indeed. She makes every syllable of every word count. Her pause-craft and her pianissimo-craft are spectacular too.

Moved by recordings of Judy Garland, Mabel Mercer, Bobby Short, Lee Wiley, Etta Jones, Julie London and countless other singers from the golden eras of cabaret, swing, and cool jazz, Grace interprets songs from the canon with an expansive yet personal approach. A deep dive into the American Songbook has inspired her hope to give forgotten gems the attention they deserve — alongside beloved standards.

Grace has quickly become an established performer on London’s jazz scene, appearing regularly at venues such as Crazy Coqs, The Ned, Boisdale, and Brown’s Hotel. But for one night only, she will join our Jack Calloway at BRISTOL 1904 ARTS to give us a night not to forget.

Bristol 1904 Arts presents Poor Old Dogs

About this event:

Toe-tapping tunes, rich storytelling and warm humour with Bristol folk favourites Poor Old Dogs.

BRISTOL 1904 ARTS is delighted to welcome one of Bristol’s much-loved folk groups, Poor Old Dogs, for an evening of music, storytelling, and good company.

Having played together for over a decade, Poor Old Dogs have become known for their lively performances, rich storytelling, and warm sense of humour. Drawing inspiration from the traditions of UK and Irish folk music, they bring together well-loved tunes, original songs, and the kind of easy musical chemistry that only comes from years of performing together.

Their performances have a natural charm to them, balancing energy and warmth in equal measure. Expect toe-tapping melodies, memorable tales, and music that feels as comfortable as an evening amongst old friends, best enjoyed with a beer in hand.

For one night only, Poor Old Dogs come to Bristol 1904 Arts for what promises to be an evening full of character and folk spirit in the intimate surroundings of our historic Performance Hall.

A night truly not to be missed.

Tickets are just £12 for members and £15 for guests.
