Hil St Soul with Fidel

We are very pleased to welcome back Hil St Soul for two exhilarating nights at Hideaway – without a doubt one of the most recognised female singers in the UK singing Neo-soul with a twist of Jazz. Book early to avoid missing out! Tonight, Hilary will be joined by special guest vocalist Fidel!

Hil St Soul will be joined on stage by her musical director, guitarist Ciyo Brown plus full live band.

From underground smash hits like “Smile”, “Pieces” and “Strictly A Vibe Thing”, to more commercial hits like her covers of the Aretha Franklin classic “Until You Come Back To Me” and The Isley Brothers’ “For The Love Of You”, Hil’s enchanting performances are winning new fans with every silky note.

“It’s rare in the soul arena for UK based acts to genuinely give the Americans a run for their money, but Hil St Soul seem on track to do just that.” BBC Music

“One of the UK’s most quietly-consistent soul music exports to the US” Blues & Soul Magazine
