Description

Live Nation Presents Cuca Roseta Cuca Roseta is one of the most acclaimed and respected voices of fado. The fado singer, who has already released seven albums - signed by the world's most prestigious producers - has made a career of enormous success, with great recognition from the media and the public. In recent times, Cuca Roseta has asserted and confirmed all her talent before the mass audience, having presented them with two remarkable pieces of work. The first, a tribute album to Amália Rodrigues, "Amália por Cuca Roseta" which received huge praise from the media and lastly, her most recent album "Meu", a record where the fado singer declares herself as the author and composer of all the tracks, a record which was highly applauded by her public. A work that enhances her country and its popular and musical roots, from fado to folklore.

Please get in touch prior to making a booking by emailing events@hackney.church About Hackney Church Located in the heart of East London, Hackney Church, officially known as St John at Hackney, is the historic parish church of Hackney, dating back to 1792. Today, the church is part of SAINT, a thriving church meeting across multiple East London locations. Following a multi-million-pound restoration, part-funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the church has undergone a substantial transformation, driven by a vision to create a 'cathedral of creativity' to serve the local community and beyond. This project was spearheaded by an acclaimed team including world-renowned minimalist architect John Pawson CBE, visual artist Es Devlin, and conservation experts Thomas Ford & Partners. The renovation not only improved the church’s accessibility but also meticulously preserved its historical integrity, establishing it as an impressive centre for community engagement. Hackney Church functions as a premier venue for live music, arts and culture, intertwined with Hackney's cultural and social landscape.

Supported by hundreds of volunteers, and funded by community donations, grants and live shows at Hackney Church, Lighthouse provides holistic support to individuals and families in need, spanning a range of services designed to combat poverty, homelessness, loneliness and social exclusion.
