The Nest Collective invites you to enjoy a beautiful fireside concert with Comorian and Suntou Susso.

For this Campfire Club we are delighted to present co-headliners Comorian and Suntou Susso.

The Comorian duo features singers and instrument-builders, M’madi and Soubi, who utilize homemade double-sided guitars. Comorian’s debut album was recorded 100% live and outdoors on the Comoros Islands by Grammy-winning producer and author, Ian Brennan (Tinariwen, Ustad Saami, Malawi Mouse Boys, Zomba Prison Project). Comoros is one of the smallest nations on earth and Comorian’s album, We Are an Island, But We’re Not Alone was named one of the best of the year by Folk Radio UK and given a 4-star review in The Times and a 5-star review by BBC Music. The album marked the first widely-distributed international release of original songs from Comoros

Suntou Susso is a multi-instrumentalist: Kora player, percussionist, singer and composer from The Gambia.

Born a Griot in a 700-year old tradition, the Kora – harp-lute with 22 strings – is unique to the Griots of the Mandinka people. Griots have a unique societal role as oral historians, transmitting and preserving a people’s culture through the generations in song, music and poetry.

Campfire Club audiences say:

“Getting to hear live music after so long was deeply emotional and the feeling of collective spirit (especially now) was really powerful.”

“The sun setting over the garden and Thames and the amazing overall relaxed (yet ‘safe’) ambience of the event. Very moving to finally be at a live gig.”

“The beautiful venue, the beautiful music, the beautiful weather! Thank you so much.”

“This was my first live music event since the beginning of the year and, although the acts were brilliant, I think what will stay with me is the joy of being with people and enjoying the moment together. I feel very grateful to you all for putting on the event.”

“This event was phenomenal. I cannot wait until I attend another one… the musicians were something else. I certainly didn’t feel as though I was in Peckham, but some enchanted woodlands”

“Walking into a wonderland of nature with beautiful music and people, it made me feel wonderfully elated.”

“The atmosphere was incredible, I knew I would love the music but I loved the atmosphere just as much.”
