Michele Stodart: Invitation Album Launch tour

There are no scheduled instances of Michele Stodart: Invitation Album Launch tour. You can view similar events below.

Caribbean-born Michele Stodart is an award-winning solo artist, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist now based in London.

Best renowned as bassist, vocalist and co-songwriter of Mercury-nominated, double-platinum selling band, The Magic Numbers, who she continues to play and tour world-wide.

Michele has always pursued her own writing alongside her band and nurtured a love for folk/Americana artists as Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams and Gillian Welch.

After almost a decade of touring, she took time out to record an album of her own songs: Wide-Eyed Crossing (2012), a southern-drenched journey into Americana country blues.

She soon became known for her intimate, heart-wrenching live performances and gained recognition for her solo material. This helped establish her as a singer-songwriter in her own right. She was signed by One Little Independent and a second solo album - Pieces (2016) - followed shortly after, receiving great critical acclaim for its melodic, cinematic, Americana -influenced confessional songs.

Michele’s diverse skills as a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and musical director led to many collaborative projects in the studio or on stage with artists including Kathryn Williams, Billy Bragg, Bernard Butler, David Ford, Natalie Imbruglia, Ren Harvieu, Charlie Dore, David Kitt, Hannah White, Rachel Sermanni, O'Hooley and Tidow.

In 2022 she received public recognition for her talent. Following this she was awarded the AMA-UK Instrumentalist Of The Year award. In January 2023 she was invited back as musical director at the UK Americana Awards.

Michele will be releasing her third solo album Invitation in September 2023. She will be touring in support of the album shortly after.

Acoustic Guitar - Absolute Beginners

Led by Jim Maving

Always wanted to learn guitar but never got around to it? Want to trade your air guitar skills for real guitar skills? It is never too late to learn. Learn guitar right from the very beginning. This is a foundation course for those with little to no experience of playing guitar. You will learn how to hold a guitar and to make the right noises out of it. The aim of these lessons is to get you playing your first song within 4 weeks of lessons, as no-one takes up guitar to strum random chords, it’s all about the songs.

If you are returning to guitar having not played for some time and can barely remember chords this is a great way of getting back into the swing of things.

Royal Opera House Live: Madama Butterfly

Running time 195 minutes (including one interval) | Sung in Italian with English subtitles

Puccini’s devastating tragedy about a young geisha who falls in love with an American naval officer.

When the young geisha, Cio-Cio-San, marries American Naval Officer Pinkerton, she believes she is entering a real, binding marriage for life. Forsaking her religion and community, she learns all too late that for Pinkerton, their marriage is merely an illusion – with tragic consequences.

With a score that includes Butterfly’s aria, 'Un bel dì, vedremo' (‘One fine day’) and the Humming Chorus, Giacomo Puccini’s opera is entrancing and ultimately heart-breaking. Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier’s exquisite production takes inspiration from 19th-century European images of Japan.

Asmik Grigorian and Hrachuhí Bassénz share the role of Cio-Cio-San, with Kevin John Edusei conducting.
