This spring, London based 7-piece festival favourites Cable Street Collective are embarking on a mini-tour, with shows in Cornwall, Wales, Bristol and their native London, among others. Taking a break from recording their latest album, the band will be road-testing new material as part of their set of African-influenced, alt-pop bangers.
Despite the lingering influence of Covid lockdowns on live music last summer, Cable Street Collective played a near-full summer of festivals, with slots at Latitude, Underneath the Stars, Altitude Festival and Elderflower Fields, to name a few.
The band has been a fixture on the festival circuit since the release of their first EP in 2014, and have since built up a stellar reputation as a live band, with shows Glastonbury, Shambala, Boomtown, The Isle of Wight Festival, Bestival, Secret Garden Party, and the Lake of Stars Festival (Malawi). Their second EP, Where Now From Here? (2018) earned them critical plaudits and radio play on BBC Radio 6Music, Radio X and Amazing Radio, among others.
Cable Street Collective are currently recording their debut album, due out in spring 2022. Current releases such as The Wolf (Nov 2021) and Bells & Whistles (March 2021) are favourites of BBC Radio 6’s Tom Robinson.
Support from Rising pop star Tessa King inspired by Dua Lipa, Corinne Bailey Rae and Joy Crookes
Born and raised in East London, British Ghanaian Kwadwo Adu Genfi Amponsah aka Kojey Radical is often described as a “renaissance man”. At 29 years old, he is at the forefront of a generation of young British artists who have pushed underground Black music into the mainstream over the last few years through a series of acclaimed, ambitious EPs and collaborations with the likes of Mahalia, Loyle Carner, Ghetts, Shy FX, AJ Tracey, Swindle, Wretch32 and MJ Cole.
Currently gearing up for the release of his highly anticipated debut album Reason To Smile, Kojey Radical embodies everything that makes an artist truly exciting in 2022; he’s an authentic and uncompromising creative force, constantly evolving and blurring boundaries as he moves from rap, funk, spoken word and poetry to fashion, art and film with an almost effortless fluidity.
Ahead of his hotly-anticipated album release on 4 March, join Kojey Radical in conversation with Darryl Yankah as they discuss Kojey’s artistic journey, and how his cultural life has shaped his own personal wellbeing and development as one of the UK’s most exciting artists. The conversation will be followed by an audience Q&A.
