WEDNESDAY<\/b><\/p>\n

The Queen Soulstress of Notts that is <\/span>YAZMIN LACEY<\/b><\/a> has just released her absolutely stunning sophomore EP \u2018<\/span>When the Sun Dips 90 Degrees\u2019<\/span><\/i>. And to celebrate, she\u2019s throwing a banger of a party down at <\/span>Rough Trade<\/b><\/a> to celebrate.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re unfamiliar with Yaz…. well, you really need to get familiar! Surfing the line between Jazz and Soul, YL is an incredible vocalist, performer, and songwriter. So much so, Gilles Peterson basically said she\u2019s the next Amy Winehouse a few weeks ago on Radio 6. <\/span><\/p>\n

So yes – you turning up really does change things. And remember, the champ goes on to open the main stage of Splendour too. Full deets on the FB event <\/span>HERE<\/b><\/a>.

TRANSPARENCY DECLARATION: As noted in No. 8<\/strong><\/a> of our FAQ’s, we always ‘Editorial Court’ our Top Three Gig choices. Whilst FSN is a Nusic event, we firmly (and fairly) believe the opportunity to see these six Notts artists on the RC main stage, for free, justifies its place in the T3 this week. Honest. x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
