GIG ONE<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The moment we at Nusic have been waiting for a long time has finally come; HARLEIGHBLU<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s album launch is happening this\u00a0FRIDAY<\/strong> at the Nottingham Contemporary<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If BBC legend MistaJam<\/strong> is calling someone \u2018the new queen of hip hop\u2019, you can bet your bottom dollar she\u2019s sure to be something special. Possessing as much talent as she does attitude, HARLEIGHBLU<\/a><\/strong> is an electric performer with more soul than the bottom of Shaquille O\u2019Neal\u2019s trainers. You can check out her exclusive NUSIC PRESENTS<\/strong> SESSION<\/strong> to discover just how special this Notts bread superstar really is here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Also on the bill is the equally soulful Notts stalwart ADY SULEIMAN<\/a><\/strong>, a man so smooth his voice is like moisturizer for the mind. This young performer has had one hell of a year gracing punters up and down the country, as well as bagging plenty of national radio airplay. You can see just why in our NUSIC FUTURE\u00a0SESSION<\/strong> he did with us late last year here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Doors: 8pm<\/p>\n

Price: \u00a310 ADV, \u00a312 OTD<\/p>\n

GIG TWO<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another massive gig at the Nottingham Contemporary<\/strong> on Saturday, this featuring a lady who has established herself on the national music scene.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

NATALIE DUNCAN<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s first album was described as \u2018one of the greatest debut albums\u2019 of 2012 by the Sunday Times, and this Saturday she\u2019ll be previewing tracks from her highly anticipated 2014 release. If that doesn’t excite, nothing will! With a reputation for live-performance-brilliance and a bewitching voice, she\u2019s sure to leave you in a mesmerized trance for the remainder of the night, and much of the next day to boot!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If that wasn’t enough, just wait till your eardrums are tickled by the wistful, haunting sounds of the first act on the bill,\u00a0CECILLE GREY<\/a><\/strong>. As an established cog in the Nottingham music scene machine, their elusively unique sound will provide a perfect accompaniment to Natalie\u2019s brilliance.<\/p>\n
