After two sold-out tours across the UK and Germany, TALENTBANQ are pleased to announce Morganway will headline 21 Soho, London on 28th January 2026.
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.
Their latest single, a reimagined Americana take on Chappell Roan’s Pink Pony Club, showcases Morganway’s fearless creativity, reworking pop into something raw, raucous and uniquely their own. With their sights now set on America, the band are an official showcase artist for Folk Alliance International 2026 in New Orleans. Morganway stand on the cusp of a bold new era – one that promises to push their sound, their reach, and their fire further than ever before.

TALENTBANQ Presents…
Lisa Wright and her formidable band take over 229 for one night only to launch Lisa’s new EP “Mind of Mine”. Having opened the show for Cam Country and Phil Vassar last week, Lisa is on FIRE at the moment!
With Lawrence Hill opening this is going to be a very special gig.
Tickets are £10 – GRAB YOURS HERE
Lisa will be selling her signed EP for £5 on the night.
7pm Doors
Lawrence’s music is simple and catchy. He has received significant radio play from BBC Introducing and is a Playlisted Recording Artist on Spotify.
Lawrence supported 80s star Kim Wilde on her European tour in 2016 after she discovered him in a local pub and became a big fan of his works. She says her personal favourite is the EP “Until The End Of Time” which she plays continuously in her car.
At the beginning of 2017 Lawrence gave his fans a big shock by making an unannounced appearance on the new ITV show, The Voice UK.
“Lawrence is a really good singer, he’s amazing… and I’m glad that Jesus pushed the button”
— Will.i.am (The Tonight Show with David Walliams)

At first glance; Lisa Wright is a 5ft, blonde, Essex girl who seemingly charms her way into the audiences’ affection by cracking jokes and telling stories but then she begins to play… and the room goes silent.
BBC Introducing announced her as one of their emerging ‘Sound of 2017s’ and was handpicked by BBC 6 to represent the BBC at Latitude Festival 2017.
Described as ‘Carole King meets Patty Griffin meets John Mayer’, Lisa was championed by the Nashville Songwriters Association as their ‘One to Watch’; after she impressed the transatlantic audience with her unique and intelligent songwriting. She was also selected as a Song Suffragette songwriter in Nashville’s female-only singer-songwriter showcase.
Lisa has released two EPs which both entered into the iTunes Country Charts at No.3 – making Lisa the only independent, female artist in the Top 30 at the time.
It’s understandable to see why Lisa has often been described as “the UKs best kept secret”, but that’s all set to change …
