Ayanam is a Nigerian singer but considers his "musical home" to be Manchester. He grew up in Nigeria but moved to the UK at the age of 16 and it's reflected in his musical style - taking inspiration from everyone from the Nsync to Outlandish to Paolo Nutini, and the Kooks - his musical taste is definitely "eclectic", but what he enjoys doing is taking songs from every genre and playing around with their conventions, turning the most bubble gum of pop songs into neo soul musings.
A lyricist at heart, having written poetry since 16, his raspy tone may remind you of passionate crooners like Rob Thomas and Paolo Nutini. Although most of his sets are covers. His original songs explore his struggles with anxiety as he finds it therapeutic.
In 2019, Ayanam was a member of Sir Tom Jones' team on The Voice UK getting as far as the knockouts. We think you’ll agree that this gig is set to be something very special indeed!

Pat Fulgoni & Henry Botham bring together world-class blues vocals and red-hot New Orleans piano for a show that’s as authentic as it is electrifying.
Pat Fulgoni has toured the globe and worked with everyone from Zion Train to Camo & Krooked, Coldcut to the Red Bull Symphonic Orchestra - it’s in the blues that he’s truly spellbinding. With a voice Billboard says “could sing a pearl from its oyster” and Blues Matters declaring he can “really sing, ridiculously well,” Pat’s acclaimed 2024 Blues Experience album hit No. 3 on the UK Blues Airplay Chart and earned a UK Blues Award nomination.
Alongside him, Henry Botham - one of the UK’s leading Harlem Stride, Blues and New Orleans pianists - channels the spirit of Dr John, Professor Longhair, Jelly Roll Morton and Fats Waller, while adding his own modern twists. Known for his powerhouse performances and insightful introductions, Henry’s playing blends blues, jazz, funk, ragtime and more - with the occasional unexpected detour via Prince or The Prodigy, all delivered New Orleans-style.
Together they serve up lowdown, dirty blues: a sizzling mix of Fulgoni originals and classic cuts, performed with soul, swagger and serious musicianship. This is timeless music, played with fire.
