Candlelight & Chill - a & collaboration.

Join us for an intimate night of UK R&B and soul. Escape into a chilled Sunday evening of live music, open mic performances and good vibes for the soul. Perfect for music lovers on solo dates, friend dates and romantic dates.

The Band

The Origin are a 3-6 piece band performing across London and the UK infusing neo-soul and Jazz classics into a mix of genres.

Our Line Up

Likened to artists such as Lauryn Hill, Lianne La Havas and Erykah Badu, VVN is a singer/songwriter, spoken word artist, actress, and published poet from London. She has a passion for African-Caribbean culture and history, and grounds herself and her music within her identity as a Second Generation Black British Nigerian Londoner. She blends her love of culture with her passion for story-telling by singing in both English and Igbo, while infusing spoken-word into her songs.

Open Mic

All performance styles are welcome including but not limited to singers, rappers, poets, spoken word artists, actors and musicians. For our 'Candlelight & Chill' theme we encourage you to perform pieces that give you a feel of nostalgia and reflective winter nights, but you are welcome to share whatever is on your heart!

Open Mic performers can perform with the band, personal instruments, acapella or with a backing track.

(There are limited open mic slots available on the night, allocated on a first come first serve basis. We recommend purchasing an open mic ticket in advance to secure your spot)

Games

On the night, we will be playing Song Association! Get your music thinking caps on and warm up those vocal cords! Get ready for some fun and friendly competition as we challenge each other to think fast, sing on cue, and bring our favorite songs to life. Whether you’re a shower singer or a karaoke pro, this is your time to shine at Candlelight & Chill.

Venue

For over 10 years, Piano Smithfield has been the quintessential piano bar – a charming place to soak up the fun, lively and often raucous atmosphere whipped up by some of London’s finest piano players and singers, all the while requesting songs and indulging in the most delectable drinks and choice cocktails from an expertly crafted menu.

Now, driven by the passion of soul and blues artist James Sayer, Piano Smithfield has become London’s premiere live music and piano-bar venue, showcasing some of the best talent in the UK music scene today. Piano Smithfield has already played host to a whole range of acts and musical styles and has most recently featured acclaimed jazz and soul artists such as Liane Carroll, Ian Shaw and Derek Nash.

Unfortunately, this venue is not accessible for wheelchair users.
