Orchard are the newest eight-piece neo-soul group to emerge from the London jazz scene. Heavily influenced by artists such as Roy Hargrove, Robert Glasper and Kokoroko, Orchard’s music synthesises meaningful songwriting with heavy grooves, warm horn lines, and blistering improvisation. Having met on the Artist Masters course, Orchard’s sound is fully grown - they released their first single, Honesty, in November 2024, and their full EP will follow in 2025.

Line up:

Evie Hill - Vocals / Diarra Walcott-Ivanhoe - Piano / Lewis Kentaro - Drums / Joe Orme - Bass / Calum Harrison - Guitar / Cat Eden - Trombone / Matt Hill - Trumpet / Jemima Whyte - Alto Saxophone
