Bennett and Knight perform their music as part of a wonderful quintet

Following their 2022 sold-out theatre debut, Songs from my Soul, Bennett & Knight return to the stage with CHOUETTE. A musically wry, owl’s eye view of today’s world presented through song and spoken word.

CHOUETTE has storytelling at its heart; Ginger reflects on growing up in ‘80’s Lewisham and on today’s affairs in a way that is often funny but always deeply personal and emotionally honest. Whilst, Frances’s compositions draw on a variety of musical influences to illustrate these unique stories and provide a rich auditory canvas for Ginger’s intriguing lyrics.

Ginger Bennett reaches out to her audience with warmth and humour. Her spontaneous, edgy and topical chat blends perfectly with finely crafted song-writing and a brilliant five-piece band. Inspired by luminaries like Donny Hathaway and Gregory Porter, Bennett & Knight’s songs range from ‘Undoing’ exploring the dark legacy of slavery , to the romantic whimsy of Daisy Dance’s unseen and unrequited love and their touching tribute Lewisham’s Mr. Pink.

Come ready to ponder life, laugh and restore your soul with some stunning new music.
