A song is more than something you hear. It is something you feel.

New voices. Established voices. One room. Special guest. Surprises.

Something is stirring in Hampstead. We can feel it, even if we cannot quite name it.

Three new dates. Two time slots. Not to be missed.

With only 55 seats, you are close enough to feel every shift in the room.

Season Two — Hampstead

VOICES is a live salon for anyone who knows that a song is more than something you hear. It is something you feel.

After a sold-out first season, VOICES returns to Hampstead: the same intimate ritual, a new constellation of remarkable performers, and Guy’s instinct for bringing together voices that spark something unexpected.

Something is stirring here.
We can feel it, even if we cannot quite name it.

No distance.
No distraction.
Just the room, the voice and the moment.

The collective intake of breath.
The hush before the first note.
That rare feeling of being present as something comes alive.

The season

Two sittings each evening · 6:00pm and 8:00pm

VOICES Nº.2 / GUY CHAMBERSOCTOBER 2026

Wednesday 28 October 2026

Three acts. Special guest. Surprises.

Two sittings · 6:00pm & 8:00pm · 55 seats each · £29.50

Tickets
Jessica Sweetman

Jessica Sweetman

Fifteen years old, singing in cigar bars — that is where the voice was made. A BMG deal took her to the States. She has opened for Van Morrison, Hozier and Keane, toured with Paul Oakenfold, and goes out with Alfie Boe this autumn — the Royal Albert Hall among the rooms.

Christy O’Donnell

Christy O’Donnell

A Scot, back after a few years away — and back signed to Elton John’s Rocket. There is a new album coming, and a film, 88Keys, in which he takes the lead. October catches him mid-turn.

One World Orchestra, the full collective

One World Orchestra

Musicians from across the world, playing as one — global traditions against contemporary songwriting, much of it made in the moment. Away from the stage they work with thousands of people across the UK, using music to close the distance between them. In a room of fifty-five, there is not much left to close.

The special guest

Not announced, and not going to be. Guy asks one more voice to every night — you will meet them in the room.

Wednesday 16 December 2026

Three acts. Special guest. Surprises.

Two sittings · 6:00pm & 8:00pm · 55 seats each · £29.50

Tickets

Line-up announced closer to the night. The special guest never is.

Season One sold out every month. Every night was different. October’s bill is below. November and December are revealed closer to the night — and the special guest is never announced at all.

With only 55 seats, you are not simply watching from the audience. You are close enough to feel every shift in the room — and to become part of the night itself.

New voices. Established voices.
One room. Five songs each.

One you’ll know.
One you won’t.
And one you never saw coming.

The room

Fifty-five seats. No distance.

  • Thirty seconds from Hampstead Station · Northern Line.
  • A private entrance in Oriel Place.
  • 195 pay bays within 500m — free after 6pm, and all day Sunday.
  • Air conditioning — cool in the summer, pleasant in the winter.
  • Five bathrooms — safe and private.
  • A West End experience — in a Hampstead salon.
  • Proximity theatre — 55 seats.
The Circle & Star auditorium, full, seen from the back of the room

How the night works

Nº.1

The voice and the song

Performed live. Opened up — The spark. A cover.

Nº.2

Curated by Guy Chambers

Every artist on the bill is there because Guy asked them to be. That is the whole selection process.

Nº.3

Ninety minutes

We go for around ninety minutes. It will stay with you a lot longer.

No photography. No filming.

Yes to presence.
Yes to proximity.

Be there.

Guy Chambers
