Alice Zawadzki: Families and the Stories They Tell

Jamie Cullum called her 'uncategorisable, beautiful - a real force to be reckoned with' and The Guardian hailed her as 'a genuine original'. Vocalist, violinist, songwriter, composer and improviser Alice Zawadzki draws together influences, from her early exposure to New Orleans soul and gospel, a classical training and an exploration of world and improvised music, with storytelling always at the heart of her performances and compositions.

Inside her family, her grandfather drew comic strips for a living, while haunting the docks of London and sketching the working lives of the people he saw. These pictures and their stories are the starting point for a new show about families and the stories they tell
