British Portuguese singer-songwriter Nessi Gomes has announced today she will be performing headline shows at two spectacular concert halls in London and Manchester this Autumn 2024.
Performing the first at the historic Cadogan Hall in London on 9th November, Nessi will then head to the RIBA Award-winning Stoller Hall in Manchester on 15th November. Audiences can look forward to Nessi Gomes’ signature ethereal music with empowering, personal lyrics in hauntingly atmospheric and beautiful concert venues, to create two truly memorable live performances.
The announcement comes after the recent release of Nessi’s new song Morning Mirrors, a musical piece that fearlessly calls out toxic femininity, delving into themes of jealousy, comparison, and the painful consequences they entail. The video for Morning Mirrors, soon to be released, will be Nessi’s most ambitious visual production to date.
Speaking of the upcoming shows, Nessi says - “I’m so excited to be able to take my UK tour to these beautiful concert halls in London and Manchester, two cities with such an inspiring legacy for great music. To be able to share live music all the way from the South to the North of the UK fills me with huge gratitude, and I look forward to sharing this love with my audiences across the country”
With 70 million combined streams and the award for Best Unsigned Female Artist UK 2016, Nessi Gomes is a British Portuguese musician, composer and lyricist of rare invention and beauty.
Born on the tiny Island of Guernsey to a Portuguese family, Gomes channels influences from both sides of her ethnicity, blending the essence of the traditional, emotional and ‘larger than life’ Fado folk music with British progressive modern inspiration.
Nessi’s debut album Diamonds & Demons ensued tales of darkness and light allowing a deeper exploration of the human condition, psyche, collective fears and torments. Nessi and her producer Duncan Bridgeman ('1 Giant Leap’) together dug an uncharted tunnel into the artist's turbulent heart and soul. Nessi went on to tour the album, playing in 25 European countries in the last 6 years including major festivals in Europe.
Diamonds & Demons revealed an authentic and heartfelt search for light, depth, hope and truth; an artistic quest for love and trust. A series of intricately detailed, hauntingly atmospheric and lushly textured Avant-ballads. Gomes is a musician whose work obliquely references her travails and nods to Björk and Kate Bush, while being uniquely her own, with Portuguese inflections and intimations of hope and dread.
