A huge thank you to all the venues who continue to support and welcome my music — it's been an incredibly busy and rewarding time out on the road with my guitar, sharing songs and stories with so many of you.

It's always an honour to perform for people who genuinely connect with what I do. Please check my gig dates and stay in touch — there’s plenty more to come!

Live Shows

I’ve been enjoying a run of exciting live performances, including a duo show with my brother J.C, and some very special gigs alongside legendary guitarist Dick Taylor of The Pretty Things. We’re already booking dates into 2026!

I’ve also had the absolute pleasure of performing with jazz pianist Tom Hendy. Singing some of my favourite jazz classics with such a class act has been nothing short of heavenly.

Studio Work

In the studio, things have been just as creative. Dick Taylor invited me to record vocals for a previously unreleased track titled "Wounded," co-written with the late Phil May of The Pretty Things. Dick recently rediscovered a treasure trove of unreleased material, enough to create a brand new EP — a truly historic project, and I’m honoured to be a part of it. Ive in the pipe line my solo album which was in the diary and I’m going to try and recorded this before the end of the year.

A Surprise Collaboration

Out of the blue, Swedish producer Glam Sam & His Combo (aka Mats Samuelsson) heard my vocals on the Monks Road Social debut LP — a record featuring artists like Dr. Robert (The Blow Monkeys) and Mick Talbot (The Style Council). Mats was particularly taken with “Golden Day,” a track I wrote with Miles Copeland.

“Her voice just knocked me over. It’s so cool and unique. I had to work with her.” – Mats Samuelsson

After a few creative exchanges, we began working together, and the result was the EP Blood Red Stone and Runaway Trains — released as a digital download on August 27th, 2025. A fusion of jazz, funk, folk and blues, the four-track EP is a sonic journey rooted in emotion and originality.

Featured Track: Runaway Trains (The Riviera Jazz Groove)

A dreamy blend of jazz and folk-blues, Runaway Trains reflects on weary relationships and the desire to break free from the mundane. It’s a song of self-liberation — a slow, sultry groove with a storytelling vibe.

“It’s about breaking free from a rut, taking a chance, and believing in something better.” “Let’s be runaway trains and get out of here.”

The EP artwork features an oil painting by my father, Johnny Grimshaw — adding a deeply personal and emotional layer to the project. His artwork beautifully mirrors the tone and themes of the music: raw, intimate, and crafted with care.

Radio & Reviews

We’ve received some fantastic support for this release!
Big thanks to John Osborne of Jazz FM, who featured Runaway Trains (The Riviera Jazz Groove) on his show and gave it high praise. We were also picked up by Canada’s CJSW Road Pops, and added to several top playlists — including Don Draper's Best Female Blues and Jazz.

Double A Side Single: I Talk in Colour

Encouraged by the feedback, Mats composed two more tracks, and we released a double A-side single on September 25th, 2025: “I Talk In Colour” — an exploration of the emotional chaos and beauty of new love.

“A smoky, poetic journey through love, incense, vinyl and candle wax — this is 70s bohemia reimagined in groove-heavy jazz-funk.”

The Brixton Jazz Edit — chilled, soulful, and intimate storytelling over hypnotic guitar hooks The Disco Jazz Explosion — bold, funky and wild, with freestyle vocals and chaotic jazz piano

Each track has its own voice. The "Jazz Explosion" in particular gave me Beefheart Disco vibes — vocally freeing and joyously unfiltered.

Once again, I chose one of my father’s oil paintings for the cover art — and it looks incredible. A true standout.

We’ve had amazing response to these tracks too. John Osborne gave us more love on Jazz FM, placing us number 2 on his setlist, and we’ve been featured in several glowing reviews and top streaming playlists.

Latest Double A Side Single “Sweet Summer Nights”

Released 31st October 2025- a dreamy, jazz-infused double A-side single, born from creative chemistry, deep reflection, and the golden haze of late summer.

The spark was instant. “I first listened to the track on the train heading into London to meet Mats [Glam Sam] for the first time,” says Angelina. “By the time I arrived at Waterloo, the lyrics were already written. I even sang the first idea for the vocal melody while queuing at a street food stall. His response? ‘WOW… I really, really like this. Don’t change a thing!’”

Rooted in warm production and poetic lyricism, Sweet Summer Nights is both a celebration of the season’s magic and a quiet exploration of love, identity, and vulnerability. The lyrics were shaped by Angelina’s recent time in the south of France — living off-grid, under the stars, among a community of Django Reinhardt musicians.

“Burnt orange skies explode across my evening stroll, And the warm breeze blows across your thoughts, Awakening possibilities…”

And at the heart of it all: “Sweet Summer Nights, you make everything right.”

“There’s an emotional undercurrent beneath the warmth,” Angelina says. “The lyrics ask real questions about love, loneliness, and how we care for ourselves and others. Lines like ‘If I’ve been lost, then make me found ’or ‘If my hold’s been empty, fill me with the feel of plenty’ are about healing, reconnection, and giving ourselves permission to feel deeply.”

A Voice on the Edge

Angelina’s vocal take was captured after a long season of gigs and recording sessions. “I was vocally tired — I’d had a burnout summer. But I leaned into that. The spirit and grain of my voice captured exactly what I wanted to share. I even thought, ‘What would Janis Joplin say if she were in the room with me?’”

The collaborative magic with Glam Sam is clear: “Mats is an absolute master at creating atmosphere and vision,” Angelina says. “From the very first bar, I had a vocal melody and lyrics. It’s been like that since we first started working together — I’m honestly having a creative party here!”

Two Versions, One Emotion

Each version of Sweet Summer Nights offers its own unique energy — like two sides of the same golden coin:
The Hip In The Club Groove

Sultry. Raw. Sunburnt and blistering. This version pulses with tension and liberation — a crackled, howling vocal rides a hypnotic beat as the song tackles the chains of love and life. A mantra of hope drives it forward:

“Sweet Summer Nights, you make everything right…”

This is the sound of dusk turning into night — of sweat-soaked dancefloors and emotional release.

The Sweets For My Honey Groove

Calm and endless. A quiet reflection wrapped in warmth and gratitude. This version drifts like a late-night breeze, slowly building to a glowing celebration — think beach parties, horns in full swing, and drinks in hand. The guitar solo and harps eventually return the track to stillness, giving the listener a moment of emotional rescue.

Well folks that’s it for now….I hope our paths cross at some of my shows.
Thank you for keeping in touch
Bye for now
