November’s City Link-Up Unsigned<\/h1>\n

Thursday 28th November<\/p>\n

Another line-up of quality artists took to the stage of the Music Cafe tonight for the November show organised by charity fundraising promoters City Link-Up Unsigned.<\/p>\n

City Link-Up puts on shows on the last Thursday in each month, featuring artists from the Midlands and London and further afield. One thing you can be sure of, in these shows, is that all artists will be of high calibre.<\/p>\n

The shows also raise awareness and support for the work of the charity that raises awareness and support for\u00a0the African Caribbean Leukaemia Trust (ACLT).<\/p>\n

The night was ably warmed up by Tanni Browne<\/strong> whose infectious enthusiasm for the music of Bob Marley always delights the audience. Tanni opened with the title song from his latest release Can’t get you outta my mind<\/em>, available now on iTunes.<\/p>\n

Tanni said “I am so impressed by the African and Caribbean community who come here on the last Thursday of the month to see artists who come here to shine.”<\/p>\n

A fine singer Aadam Muhammad<\/strong> brought the delightful sounds of dance songs to the room. \u00a0His confident performance was full of fizz, delivering a set of upbeat songs that raised the temperature on this cold November evening.<\/p>\n

A stunning performance came from singer Laura Hill<\/strong> whose voice had an amazing range. Laura’s set included covers from well known artists alongside some of her own, original works, including her version of Alicia Key’s\u00a0How Come You Don’t Call Me<\/em>,\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0which raised strong acclaim from the audience.<\/p>\n

A 21 year old rapper from Oxford showed off his skills – \u00a0YungStarfmg<\/strong> – who said that he had been off the scene for a while but is now making a come-back. His fast raps were delivered with verve and accuracy and some of his lyrics presented real moments.<\/p>\n

Leicester’s well-known rap artist who goes by the name of KY<\/strong> is one of the long standing and successful artists in the hip-hop genre. Kyle has appeared at a previous City Link-Up and it was good see him back tonight, providing his hall-mark performance of powerful raps. \u00a0Delivered with considerable presence, Kyle showed what he does – a set of tuneful and listenable songs delivered with his characteristic aplomb.<\/p>\n
