Corinne Bailey Rae is joining the "bold and visionary" Roundhouse Three Sixty festival.

The event - which highlights the importance of empowering young people through artistic and professional opportunities - will see the 'Put Your Records On' hitmaker present 'Black Rainbows with Guildhall Session Orchestra' on Sunday, April 27.

It will see the Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter deliver her vocals on the Mercury Prize-nominated album 'Black Rainbows' mixed with the sounds from the orchestra - which was formed in 2019 and consists of alumni from Guildhall School of Music and Drama, based in London.

The 10-track album, which was released in 2023, and shows off her risk-taking character and embraces a dynamic and genre-defying approach to music, emerged as a testament to the transformative power of the Arts Bank, which pushed Bailey Rae to explore new artistic boundaries.

The Guildhall School of Music and Drama, led by founder and artistic director Mike Roberts, principal conductor Peter Longworth, and senior producer Barbara De Bias, enables young and aspiring musicians to come together in a cross-genre ensemble.

Roundhouse Three Sixty is an example of the Chalk Farm Road venue's commitment to give young creatives a space to grow, experiment, and shape cultural moments, via its immersive, multi-disciplinary celebration of contemporary culture.
