The Simba Sessions is a monthly music and poetry night curated around a theme, and a small growing community drawn together by stories and the arts. We build community and seek to hold safe spaces. Here we nurture and celebrate the creative spirit understanding that the stories that lay behind the art are often as powerful as the art itself.

Join us with for a ‘quiet night in’ to explore our stories in poetry and song in candle-lit, wine-soaked warmth. It’s always special and unique!

Come Heavy Sleep
…are an original duo del molto espressivo who, compose and perform folk noir music. Amongst their balladry and meditative improvisation, you'll hear cello, dobro, and voice all coalesce to give weathered flesh to rustic songs about old times and alone times. It is the music of empty country at dusk and a wine in the dark

Shyaire (which aptly translates to poetry in Hindi) isn’t just a writer; she’s a poet, spoken word artist, and stand-up comic. Shy’s journey in slam poetry has taken her to the stages of Dubai, Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, Madrid and Melbourne. Her poetry has been published in ‘Chaotic Musings’ and can be found on Amazon and in her critically-acclaimed piece ‘In Defiance of Darls’ calling out racist and sexist cliches in advertising can be found in Mavens Mag Vol 2. She MCs poetry gigs like UNESCO’s Slam-O-Vision, Vibe Union’s Poets For Palestine, and The Hate Race at the Malthouse. Her poetry and performances features a mix of personyal heartbreak and social commentary.
