Pop singer-songwriter, producer and winner of Drag Race UK vs The World, Tia Kofi, headlined Moth Club on night two of Give a Gig Week, with support from Jason Patel and Queer House Party.

Youth Music's Give a Gig Week continued at Moth Club in Hackney on Tuesday 28 March 2023.

Youth Music NextGen Fund artist, Jason Patel, opened the night with a whole roster of original R&B numbers, including his latest release, '6ix'.

Wowing the audience with on-point vocals, in between each track, Jason riffed with the crowd, explaining the story behind each song.

Jason also discussed his NextGen Fund journey, sharing how the grant has enabled him to bring his creative ideas to life.

Accompanied on stage by a guitarist and keyboard player, Tia Kofi dazzled the Moth Club audience with a roster of their earworm pop songs, including 'Loving Me Like That' and 'So Good', as well as 'Outside In' and new release 'Curious'. They even treated us to a cover of Britney's 'Toxic'.

Tia chatted with the audience in between each track, explaining the meaning behind each song and cracking jokes. 

Fans had travelled from far and wide to be there, with some flying in from The Netherlands to watch Tia perform.

Once Tia had exited the stage to many whoops and cheers, DJ collective, Queer House Party, took over the decks.

Tuesday night revellers danced until close as Queer House Party span an eclectic mix of tracks, ranging from Central Cee to Beyoncé.

All in all, a sensational night, all made possible with the Youth Music NextGen creatives: Stephanie the videographer, Issy our TikTok Creator and Louis the photographer.
