Thanks so much to Paul Marshall for this wonderful review of our set at The Tuning Fork on 1st November. It was such a beautiful evening & huge thanks again to the amazing In the Shallows for having us along.

"Opening warm and earnest was Levi, real name Michael Levin Sesega, who took the stage with a quiet, disarming presence that didn’t stay quiet for long. Beside him, Mema Wilda strummed and sang, her harmonies soft but grounded, giving the set its warmth and emotional lift. This four-piece acoustic lineup, two guitars, guest violinist Jean-Baptiste Jossa, and a percussionist, Igor Shnayderman, on cajón and cymbals, walked the fine line between restraint and release.

Their songs were rooted in folk with country leanings. “Levi Lights On” glowed like a high-summer dusk, the singer bringing his little sister along to share the ride. The harmonies leaned into the spirit of Mumford & Sons; Levi carried a subdued Jack Black swagger; and their cover of “Whiskey in the Jar” was a truly outstanding rendition that morphed into a perfect two-part-harmony tour de force. The audience sat in quiet awe, every swelling chorus landing like a wave.

Their presence set the tone: acoustic, intimate, but with the promise of escalation. And escalate it did."

Wow! What a wonderful night we had last night! A huge thank you to the amazing In the Shallows for giving us the opportunity to open for them, and to The Tuning Fork for hosting us in such a beautifully intimate space. An extra shout out to the incredible Jean-Baptiste Jossa, who jumped up spontaneously and joined us on violin - it was pure magic. Most of all, thank you to everyone in the audience who gave up their Saturday night to spend it with us. You made it truly special! 😊

Unfortunately, tonight's show has had to be cancelled. We're obviously gutted but sometimes circumstances are beyond anyone's control & we just have to roll with it. Our very best wishes to In the Shallows. We were so looking forward to opening for them & hopefully we will do so one day. 😊
