Famous First Words
Do you know the first line of your favourite song off by heart? Test your skills in this quick-fire karaoke experience and sing them to the crowd at Coal Drops Yard, with Tim Warwood and Adam Gendle’s wildly popular live musical game show. You could win a chance to switch on the festive lights and usher in Christmas at Coal Drops Yard.
House Gospel Choir
This is the choir that house built – a unique collective of stellar voices who have collaborated with Stormzy, Annie Mac, Katy B, The Kooks, Honne and Wretch 32 under the guidance of Creative Director Natalie Maddix. Expect uplifting house classics you can’t help but get caught up in.
Paul Noble
With a background in music production, Artistic Director Paul founded Spiritland because there was nowhere in London to listen to a breadth of music on world-class audio equipment. Hear him spin a cross-section of eras and genres, from 50s jazz to deep electronica, country rock to classic pop
