The Betty Black Review; Wordl Heart Beat Embassy Gardens, Battersea; 15th August 2026; from £25
Join Betty Black, the sizzling new alter-ego of Elisabeth Troy, for a night that celebrates the golden era of soul with fire, finesse and a killer band.
Known to many as the voice behind UK garage classic ‘Crazy Love’ and a longtime collaborator with the likes of Roni Size, Primal Scream and Incognito, Troy steps out in full technicolour as Betty Black: a soul powerhouse, storyteller, and front woman of The Betty Black Revue. This is no ordinary gig – it’s a showcase, a spectacle, and a deep dive into the roots of Rhythm & Blues.
The evening marks the official launch of her new single ‘Save Me’ a bold, sassy, high-energy tribute to the sounds that shaped her. Expect a full-throttle live show with a killer band, dazzling costumes, and choreography that nods to Tina & Ike. Drama from Shirley Bassey and Grace Jones, while remaining unmistakably Betty.
From smoky blues and spiritual jazz to Northern Soul stompers and vintage funk, each moment is a love letter to the 50s, 60s and 70s, delivered with modern flair and unfiltered soul. This is a must for the old-school funk & soul aficionados, vinyl heads and dancers.
Come dressed to impress!
