Vaughan Hawthorne-Nelson presents ‘Songs of Hope’ featuring Sabina Desir.

Vaughan Hawthorne-Nelson – Saxophone
Sabina Desir – Vocals
Tom Rayfield – Keyboards
Cavan Matcham – Guitar
John Buckett – Bass

Following a string of sold-out performances in the South East, Vaughan returns to The Lighthouse with a new band and a new sound. Turning to songs, Vaughan has penned a wide range of music for the incomparable voice of Sabina Desir. “I wanted to write music that speaks to the injustices of today. The plight of Palestine has affected so many of us, and music is an important tool, not only of protest, but of solidarity and hope.”

This new group features an incredible group of musicians including, Winston Clifford on drums, a pillar of the UK music scene, up and coming Tom Rayfield on keyboards, the funky Cavan Matcham on guitar as well as local Deal legend, John Buckett on bass. This will undoubtedly be a moving evening of music.
