Comprising of Anya Pulver, Tina Maynard and James Collins, the dual-fronted three-piece has already written several blistering, powerhouse pop songs that pack a serious punch. Check out www.soeursoeursoeur.com.

 

The gig at The Louisiana will see them playing alongside Keir, Moses and Paris Youth Foundation in a showcase of Crosstown Recordings artists.
