Oli “Mississippi” MacDonald (Mac) is a Soul-Blues singer/songwriter/guitarist from London who in 2024 won 2 UK Blues Federation Awards – Traditional Blues Artist Of The Year and Acoustic Blues Act Of The Year. In 2025 and 2026, he won the Best Acoustic Act for the second and third times and was inducted into the UK Blues Hall Of Fame. Since signing to APM Records in 2021, he has appeared on BBC Radio 2’s Blues Show with Cerys Matthews, showcased on Beale Street and appeared on the legendary King Biscuit Time (Helena AK). He has recorded with established US artists Vaneese Thomas (Rufus Thomas), Benny Turner (Freddie King, Mighty Joe Young), and the Reverend Shawn Amos. Most recently, he has recorded with Hi Rhythm (Al Green, Ann Peebles, Otis Clay) in Memphis at Royal Studios, with Grammy Award winning producer Boo Mitchell.

For this gig, Oli will be opening the afternoon with a 45 min solo acoustic set and will introduce the full band line up for the longer second set. Here are a couple of videos to give you an idea of what to expect and to demonstrate why Oli is considered to be a leading musician on the current UK blues circuit. The first is acoustic from the UK Blues Awards 2025 with Oli joined by a face you will recognise on harmonica and the second is from his band set at Milkfest at the O2 a couple of months ago.

His special guests for this gig are Lina and Laura, a songwriting duo formed by California native Louise Goffin and Memphis-based Lina Beach. Their paths first crossed  at Royal Studios in Memphis while working with producer Boo Mitchell. Born out of a spirit of collaboration, shaped in part through songwriter retreats with The Goffin & King Foundation, their work has taken them from Memphis to London, Argentina, Muscle Shoals, Nashville, and Los Angeles—absorbing the sounds, stories, and spirit of each place along the way. While both artists work on upcoming solo albums, Lina & Louise capture the energy of the moment and the places they’ve put down roots, staying true to old-school recording while contributing to the legacy of iconic studios from Royal Studios to Abbey Road and beyond.

Louise Goffin is a singer-songwriter and recording artist whose work is rooted in craft, instinct, and a deep relationship to the studio. Her independent body of work reflects a life spent writing, producing and shaping songs from the inside out, with a clear point of view and a commitment to artistic self-direction. She is the founder of the Goffin & King Foundation, a creative platform where songwriters gather in historic places and studios
for focused writing sessions built on collaboration, independence, and trust. Her songs are shaped by lived experience and emotional clarity, with a sound that feels both intimate and expansive. She draws from the highest level of songwriting, carrying a simple emotional clarity from the work of her parents,  Gerry Goffin and Carole King, into her own distinct style and voice, while her melodic instincts and natural ease leading a band remain unmistakably her own. Her delivery holds a sense of presence that draws an audience in and makes them want to listen. Here she is performing her original track "Right Now"

Lina Beach is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Franklin, Tennessee, now based in Memphis. Raised on classic records, she was immersed in music from an early age, but it wasn’t until she moved to Memphis that she began to share her gift. In 2019, she arrived at Rhodes College and quickly fell in love with the city’s rich musical heritage. In 2021, she landed an internship with producer Boo Mitchell at Royal Studios—the birthplace of the Memphis Soul sound. There, she quietly absorbed everything she could about making records. One afternoon during a session break, Mitchell overheard her playing guitar in the lobby and invited her to record an Al Green cover. Her performance stopped him in his tracks—“you sound like a 70-year-old black man!”—drawing comparisons to Teenie Hodges of the Hi Rhythm Section. He then told her, “You could make records.” And that’s what she did.

After graduating, Lina became the newest member of the Hi Rhythm Section, touring globally and performing with artists including Carla Thomas, Al Green, William Bell, Eddie Floyd, and Cedric Burnside. Most recently, she contributed to the Sinners soundtrack. Back in Memphis, she is finishing her debut album at Royal Studios, blending the warmth of classic ‘70s records with honest, contemporary songwriting, honoring the legacy of the city she now calls home. Here she is in action with Hi Rhythm..
