BELLE ROSCOE
Brother-Sister duo, Matty and Jules radiate a unique and mesmerising chemistry, clearly the product of a lifetimes worth of shared experiences. Both siblings’ possess extraordinary vocals and sure know how to work a crowd. Multi-talented musicians, with a wealth of great material they’re one of the most captivating acts to see this year. We are thrilled to have them return to Pizza Express Live for this special full band headline show.
"Seeing Julia and Matt back in live action in London recently was a reminder of what a cool combo Belle Roscoe are. Their new material is the best they have ever sounded."

HALEY JOHNSEN
US musician and songwriter with a knack for genre-bending and a hard-earned career path that is uniquely her own. Raised listening to powerhouse singers such as Brandi Carlile, Grace Potter, Eva Cassidy, and Bonnie Raitt, her greatest inspirations become apparent in her soaring vocals, introspective lyricism, and cross-pollinated style of indie-pop, and folk rock music. Whether her songs muse on the aches of self-doubt, the joy that can accompany nostalgia, or simply trying to stay afloat in tough times, her bona fide songwriting combined with her performance ability is bound to evoke an emotional response. Hayley has toured widely across the US playing numerous festivals and supporting the likes of KT Tunstall, and makes her UK debut this Autumn.
ED TATTERSALL
The return of Ed Tattersall to the stage in 2022 with an evocative, stripped back 4 track acoustic EP called “Rescue Me” has successfully resulted in gaining over 100,000 streams on Spotify whilst also attracting the attention of BBC Three Counties, BBC Somerset and Amazing Radio. Ed’s timeless, emotional, powerful voice has continued to delight audiences far and wide, recently venturing out to play stages in Germany and Sweden as well as supporting some well-known bands and artists such as Olivia Dean, Thomas Headon, Buzzcocks, China Crisis and Billy Lockett. October 2023 will see the much-anticipated release of Ed’s self-produced album, “Chasing Elysium”.
MAJALEN
Exciting live Australian Singer-Songwriter Majalen makes her second trip to London this year, having won many fans earlier this year. Combining many musical and cultural influences, she brings together her percussive acoustic guitar style with thoughtful lyrics and improvisational melodies.
JADEN LARUE

Inspired by the voices of Janis Ian, The Beatles, Patsy Cline, Tom Waits and her grandfather's old records, Jaden has performed her music at venues all across the US. She is founder of The Silverlake Sessions in Los Angeles.
