TALENTBANQ 8th Anniversary Celebration

You are invited!

We ran our first ever gig on January 24th, 2018.

On January 28th 2026, we are celebrating 8 years of incredible live music.

Morganway headlines the night, with a remarkable supporting lineup : Samuel Ashton & the Instincts + DJs from Voices Radio.

Join us at 21 Soho or a gig that may prove to be the best of 2026.

Morganway

Drenched in rustic folk and thunderous Americana Rock, Morganway delivers a sonic punch that leaves you breathless. Their music is a paradox: both intimate and expansive, vulnerable and powerful. Prepare to be swept away by a performance that transcends genre and leaves an indelible mark.

Championed by the likes of Planet Rock radio and Whispering Bob Harris, Morganway has earned a reputation as one of the UK’s most exciting live acts.

Following sold-out tours across the UK and Germany, and support slots with artists as diverse as Belle & Sebastian, Skunk Anansie, Elles Bailey, Sunny Sweeney and Fanny Lumsden, their cross-pollinating sound continues to thrive on the festival circuit. With mainstage appearances at Shrewsbury Folk Festival, Country Calling, Fairport’s Cropredy Convention, The Long Road, Towersey Folk Festival and Belladrum; the multi award-winning band have been crowned the BCMA’s Group of the Year for four consecutive years and were nominated for Live Act of the Year at the 2025 UK Americana Awards.

With support from Samuel Ashton & the Instincts.

Samuel Ashton's music has been described as "Deliciously Soulful" by the BBC's Leo Ulph and as "A celebration of pure, unfiltered soul and passion" by Black Deer Live.

Samuel's soul voice and classic RnB sound have seen him sell out shows across the UK and make waves with over 500k streams on Spotify and radio play on the BBC, throughout Europe, the United States and Australia.

Cene Magazine's Joe Bill writes "Blessed with soaring vocals that feel like a warm jumper keeping you safe from the cold"; backed up by his accomplished band, The Instincts, 2025 promises to see them set stages alight with their captivating live performances.
