JENNY MOORE is a composer, singer, drummer, performance artist and choir leader. Her London-based six-piece choral-punk ensemble Jenny Moore’s Mystic Business is known for their tuned percussion, huge vocals and chanted soulful mantras, a mix of the 90’s R&B and post-punk Jenny grew up listening to in the Canadian prairies. Their new EP, “He Earns Enough,” was released on Lost Map Records in 2021.
Moore founded the alternative feminist choir F*Choir, composing and arranging for the diverse group of singers using non-gendered voice parts, graphic scores, no auditions to create highly energetic, rhythmic and political music. She’s played in bands like the dance-punk trio Charismatic Megafauna and Bas Jan, committed to DIY and collective processes towards making and distributing music, workshops, artworks and performances. She has a monthly radio show on Soho Radio called ‘Hitting Things,’ and co-founded Bedfellows, a queer feminist sex education project. This performance will showcase Jenny Moore’s new set of piano songs, recently recorded at St Barnabas Church (Dalston) and available soon through Lost Map, and will feature members of her band Jenny Moore’s Mystic Business and her punk choir F*Choir.

ZAHRA HAJI FATH ALI TEHRANI is a musician, composer, performer and award-winning director of the Young Women’s Music Project. She is based in Oxford where she was born and raised as a second-generation immigrant, her father having emigrated to the UK from Iran and her mother being Irish. Thoughts on identity run as an undercurrent through her creative process as she connects the different cultures she embodies. She released her self-produced EPs Wednesday’s Child and Atigheh under the name Despicable Zee. Her previous body of work centred around Zahra’s reflections on the experience of immigration and existing between cultures which are worlds apart. She wove in samples from Iranian ballads, lullabies from her Irish mother and Iranian grandmother, and sounds of her son that have been collected as he grows up, pockets of childhood captured in the quiet moments.
