Rounding off our May 2025 benefits for Mind Cambridge, we will be hosting the fabulous (La Petite) Bête Noire on Friday 30 May, to mark the close of Mental Health Awareness Month.

Bête Noire brings us cross genre music, with a focus on folk, jazz, blues and more. Gifted and versatile, singer-songwriter and pianist Angie Collins channels melancholy vibes, blended with a dash of dark humour, delivered in compellingly warm, smokey tones.

Angie’s original sounds are reminiscent of Norah Jones or Amy Winehouse and she is accompanied in Bête Noire’s line up by many of Cambridge’s finest musicians.

For the Mind Cambridge benefit, which will take place outside the shop, at 38 Burleigh Street, CB1 1DG, or inside if it’s raining, the line up will be pared back to ‘La Petite’ Bête Noire.

Catch them live at 15:00PM, for 45 minutes of mellow and engaging vibes as Angie is joined by the inspired and dynamic Josie Campbell on saxophone and backing vocals.

Donations can be made in the shop, with every penny counting towards the crucial fight for better mental health. All funds raised will go directly to projects in the area.

Thank you!

With special thanks to Angie, as well as Josie, and our flyer designer, Will Hill. Big thanks too to Billy and Jake for once again supplying posters and flyers at the 11th hour, contact them at Cambridge-Printing.com.
