Celebrate the release of festival dates and venue with the third in a series of FREE priceless live events at Rich Mix on Wednesday 7th April. This time round we have up and coming electro-pop band The Good Natured, Botswana born singer-songwriter Tamanda Walker along with DJ sets from the legendary Ali B and support from Izzy Electric and Alex K (Itchy Soul).


'Up and coming quirky synth pop goddess dejour. The good natured is every bit as good as her rivals' (Metro). Female fronted electro-pop band 'The Good Natured' aka Sarah and her band have created much excitement amongst the UK music press , being championed by NME, The Guardian , The Sunday Times , Q Magazine and PopJustice. Art Rocker have said that 'Sarah is going far is this is anything to go by' and Channel 4 'can't wait to hear what she does next' .



Ali B is a prominent member of London’s leftfield scene. Over the last decade he has held down residencies at the capital’s two most influential clubs, the legendary Blue Note club and Fabric, where he has been from the day it opened. He has toured extensively in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Asia and the US, taking his sound to an international audience.Ali B currently hosts a weekly show on London’s Kiss FM.


In the age of the independent artist, Tamanda Walker is that rare diamond in the rough that is destined to shine over the music industry. With her soul tinged blend of pop, Tamanda has already cemented her status as “one to watch” on London’s live music scene.

April 2010 sees the eagerly anticipated release of Tamanda’s self-titled debut EP. For this EP Tam teamed up with Drew Horley (Estelle / Ty / Natalie Williams), DC Joseph (Musiq Soulchild / Beverley Knight) Yak Bondy (Amy Studt / Rachel Stevens) and Big Life writers, Maryann and Michael Tedstone to best showcase her versatile talent.

"Tam Walker is sensational …Quality with a capital “Q”! She represents a new breed of fresh and aspiring artists with a unique talent that sets her apart from the mob.” Bryan Mutambiranwa, Africa Inspired Foundation / The Africa Channel
