Brighton Kollab

AGE LIMIT: 16+ Anyone under 18 MUST be accompanied by an adult.

Kollab - the famous night of music, words and general gorgeousness on a houseboat in Shoreham is returning to its second home: the colourful Ironworks.

Hosted by Katrina Pike and featuring a smashing lineup of spoken word from Spliff Richard, homegrown songs from Andy Melrose & Nicola Bloom, and piano from Serge Naufal.

Kollab is about creating attentive and welcoming spaces for courageous sharing, building connections and appreciating the incredible local talent we have.

We'll be in the foyer in cabaret style where you can soak up the vibe and catch up with your pals or meet new friends with a drink from the bar.

Open mic slots are available, all forms of creativity and levels of experience are welcome! Please email a2F0cmluYWJ5c2VhIHwgZ21haWwgISBjb20= with some information about you and your offering to reserve a space.

Doors open 7pm for a 7.30pm (prompt) start.

See you soon!

SPLIFF RICHARD

Nina Simone famously sung 'Young, Gifted & Black', Spliff Richard is slightly one of those things. A veteran of Brighton's hospitality sector, you've probably encountered him serving up food, drink & unsolicitied Dad jokes. Now come and see him serving up rhymes! And unsolicited Dad jokes.

SERGE NAUFAL

Serge Naufal is a Lebanese pianist and composer who blends classical influences with his own original style. His music carries a reflective, often melancholic tone, rooted in personal moments and stories. His latest release "Beirut" is dedicated to his hometown and captures feelings of hope and beauty. Serge loves sharing his music in intimate settings like Kollab where piano music has the power to evoke emotions and deeply connect with listeners.

ANDY MELROSE & NICOLA BLOOM

Join singer/songwriter/guitar & uke playing Andy Melrose and Nicola Bloom at the Heartbreak Café for their new songs on love, loss and heartbreak.

KOLLAB FEEDBACK

"Wanted to say thank you for a really lovely open mic last night. This morning was the first time I have woken up feeling joyful without and dread dreams in the night for about two weeks. You created a really safe space and welcoming event. Loved your poems and they way you perform them is so engaging and absorbing. Marvellous. Thank you"

"Kollab last night was fab, and you hold the space in such a lovely, relaxed, friendly, helpful, kind, and yet still very organised (!) way. Also, amazing poetry! I've never been to anything like that before. I enjoyed it so much I will definitely be aiming to come to more"
