International Women’s Day Celebration
London’s much-loved vintage rhythm & blues club night, Malted Shake proudly presents a Roots Sisters Special this International Women’s Day; an all-female line-up celebrating the powerhouse women of rock ’n’ roll, country, and soul, past and present. The event honours the trailblazing female artists of the 1950s while showcasing rising stars from today’s thriving roots scene.
Jenny Lee & Her Band
Jenny Lee pays tribute to the great female rock ’n’ roll and country pioneers of the 1950s, performing classics made famous by legends such as Wanda Jackson alongside other iconic female artists of the era. Expect authentic vintage flair and a sound that faithfully brings the past into the present.
LJ Sharpe & The Monte Carlos
Serving punchy R&B and sweet, sultry soul, LJ Sharpe & The Monte Carlos deliver a smooth blend of original material and carefully selected deep cuts guaranteed to get hips twisting and the dancefloor moving.
On the Decks
DJ Jezebel will be spinning an electrifying selection of rock ’n’ roll, rhythm & blues, and floor-filling vintage gems throughout the night.
A Celebration with Purpose
This special International Women’s Day event will also raise funds for Solace Women’s Aid, supporting women and children affected by domestic abuse. A raffle featuring generous prizes from Bermondsey’s buzzing food and drink scene will take place on the night.
Curator and co-founder Aisha Khan says: “International Women’s Day is about honouring the women who paved the way for us, especially in genres like rock ’n’ roll and rhythm & blues, where their contributions weren’t always fully recognised. This night is about celebrating that legacy while spotlighting the incredible female artists carrying the torch today. And doing it while raising funds for such an important cause makes it even more meaningful.”
The Malt Bar, Arch 46, Ropewalk, Maltby St, London SE1 3PA. 7pm, 7th March, £18.
