Live Performance
Soul / Funk
Mamilah began in Leeds in early 2017, along with the commonly misused umbrella term 'Neo-Soul' used to describe the majority of modern R&B and Soul.
An apple fallen far from the tree that brought this genre to life such as our sweet Erykah, just to name one. This sparked the Mamilah flame, a flame that strives to exude a sound that leans more towards traditional Soul. Inspired by artists such as Buena Vista Social Club, Charles Bradley, Nubian Twist and Aretha Franklin, they bring a fresh twist on what it is to be Soul.
Since their inception, they have played in Leeds’ most reputable venues such as Smokestacks, The Brudenell Social Club, Headrow House, The Wardrobe and their recent debut EP launch hitting Belgrave Music Hall & Canteen.
Excited to be a part of Leeds’ blossoming music scene they have planned some UK dates to bring this groove right to your door.
Their newest release ‘Moonlight Walking’ is a blend of all their music tastes but with the Soul inflections that keep your eyes squeezed shut and body moving.
Located in Leeds’ vibrant Northern Quarter, Belgrave Music Hall and Canteen first opened its doors in 1934 as Leeds Children’s Palace; a 3-storey recreation hall and nursery school built to provide childcare support for the working families of Leeds.
After many years of neglect, the building has been restored to its former glory and reopened under the name Belgrave Music Hall and Canteen, with a hope that it will provide artists and performers with a unique new platform in one of the UK’s most creative cities.
Spread over three floors, the venue comprises of two bars, two kitchens, a 300 capacity event space and a spectacular roof terrace. We host live music, comedy, film and art exhibitions and serve fresh, canteen style food, amazing cask ales and premium craft beers as well as frozen cocktails and a wide range of teas and coffees. WIFI is, of course, free.
Dough Boys are our adventurous in-house pizza slingers, serving hand stretched pizza by the slice. Their ingredients are fresh and where possible sourced from local producers. You can always count on at least 6 delicious varieties with vegan options always available.
Please note – fancy dress, stag/hen parties and large groups will not be admitted.
