FULL BAND ANNOUNCEMENT 📍
Joining FER4Z, Florence Jack and Jackill on the 21st March at the Tunnels, we’re proud to showcase the musicians making up this year’s HOURS Rhyme Lounge house band:
Hailing from Gary, Indiana, and now based in Aberdeen, Nuna Mutikani is a Nu-jazz/Soul-Funk musician whose sound artfully blends the intricate harmonies of jazz, the soulful depths of R&B, and the infectious grooves of funk. A talented modern composer, Nuna’s music emerges from a space of deep introspection, with each piece serving as a candid conversation with himself.
Scott Cruickshank is one of Aberdeen’s busiest musicians. Playing in every kind of band under the sun, from ska to hotclub, swing, funk, ceilidh, and jazz, he has performed all over Scotland and returns to the HOURS house band to showcase that versatility and ability.
Another HOURS veteran, Kit Purnell joins us on the drums. Comfortable on any stage from busking around the city centre to sharing stages with headline acts like Sandi Thom, Kit has years of experience under his belt to lay down the backbone of the groove for the night.
Ewa Langiewicz is an up and coming singer/songwriter based in Aberdeen. She has performed at various notable events throughout the city such as the Tall Ships festival in 2025 as well as regular appearances at Jazz, Blues and Reggae events. She takes influence from a wide variety of singers such as Whitney Houston, Etta James and Billie Holliday.
Just over two weeks to go, see you there from 10.30pm ⏳
Our third performer for this year’s Rhyme Lounge, in partnership with the Aberdeen Jazz Festival - Jackill 🏴
An artist at the heart of the Aberdonian hip hop scene, Jackill has been releasing music both as a solo mc and a founding member of legendary local crew Ill Collective for over ten years.
Alongside his deft lyricism exploring local life, perseverance and solidarity, he has been a guiding force in developing Aberdeen’s creative scene through his work in community outreach and music tutoring, and he shows no signs of slowing down with a slew of releases planned for 2026.
Catch him performing live alongside the HOURS house band at Tunnels on March 21st 🤝⏳

Announcing our second performer on the night for this year’s Rhyme Lounge - Florence Jack 🎤
Florence Jack is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based in Aberdeenshire, self-releasing a range of music from catchy, upbeat empowering pop songs to acoustic ballads.
Her songs have had regular support from national platforms including BBC Introducing, BBC Radio Scotland and BBC Nan Gaidheal. Her Debut EP ‘Love Heist’ was recently released in November 2025 and was funded by Creative Scotland.
You can find her music on all streaming platforms, and performing with the HOURS live band at Tunnels on March 21st!
Announcing our first performer for the 4th annual HOURS x Aberdeen Jazz Festival Rhyme Lounge: @fer4z 🤝
FER4Z’s sound is a reflection of dreams, memory, and identity - rooted in the culture, yet reaching into the future.
Influenced by the storytelling of Burna Boy, the soul of Brent Faiyaz, the tonality & delivery of J Hus, and the experimental edge of artists like Odunsi and Tems, FER4Z crafts impeccable soundscapes that echo with truth.
Performing alongside the HOURS house quartet at Tunnels on March 21st, you can expect fresh Afro-fusion, smooth melodies, sharp lyricism, and an open invitation to reflect and feel. For the full evening’s lineup, keep an eye on our socials ⏳
