A Nightmare on Kingsland Road is a concert presented by HYOTR, with RAAANDY and WAAW on the bill. The evening draws on R&B, soul, funk, gospel and reggae, a mix that pairs the vocal emphasis of soul and gospel with the rhythmic grooves of funk and reggae.

Reggae developed in Jamaica in the late 1960s, while funk and soul grew out of American Black music of the same decade. Gospel and R&B supply much of the vocal tradition that runs through the programme.

The Haggerston is the host venue, a London space for concerts and shows. The night suits listeners drawn to these styles, from grooves-led funk and reggae to the song-based approach of contemporary R&B.
