The Grove + Support

The Grove, a seven-piece collective from South London, play a concert at Piano Smithfield with support from Florence Noon and Rose White. The night is part of The EFG Jazz Festival 2026.

The Grove is described as a seven-piece collective from South London whose music blends jazz, soul, funk and indie rock. The band is led by frontwoman Habiba Sesay, whose vocals are central to their sound, and their latest studio releases are presented as experimental in their approach.

The group has played sold-out shows at established London venues and has been noted in major live music competitions. Four singles have together passed two million streams in the last twelve months, and the band has received support from BBC Introducing, Radio 1 and Robert Elms.

Piano Smithfield is a concert venue at 14 Long Lane in the Barbican area of London, with a programme centred on live music. The bill also features Florence Noon and Rose White in support.
