unsicht-Bar

Bianca Guitton is a singer from Paris, France, where she became involved in theatre and song at an early age. After her move to Berlin in 2011, she began to fully exploit her wide-ranging creativity: one evening she plays rock songs at a street festival, the next she improvises with free-jazz musicians in a cosy cellar in Neukölln. She is also a member of Oak Bell, a project dedicated to traditional European songs.

She has appeared regularly in the unsicht-Bar since 2016, where she presents with Phil Cooksey a varied repertoire from soul to blues and contemporary pop. On stage, with her natural presence and expressive voice, she connects closely with the audience and invites them to share a moment together.

Sara Martínez Piera is an artist and singer from Valencia, Spain. She gained early stage experience performing with different bands, developing a broad repertoire across pop, rock and Latin music. Over time, her focus shifted towards jazz and Latin styles, particularly bossa nova and boleros. She is currently involved in various projects, including duo formations in jazz and Latin music, and works with musicians from the Cuban music scene.

In the unsicht-Bar, she performs as part of the Duo Daisies, rendering lively interpretations of pop and rock hits and standards.

Merle Sibbel is a versatile singer-songwriter from the Netherlands. In Berlin she found a home in the rich folk scene. She has been touring Europe with her band Mone as well as the Berlin Supergroup The Sirens.

She has been a regular in the unsicht-Bar since 2023, reinterpreting with Phil Cooksey popular songs from soul and blues to contemporary pop. She loves to sing with a playful style and adds a touch of theatre to the modern classics.

Phil Cooksey is a pianist from Cambridge, England, and has lived in Berlin since 1991. He has played piano in cafés and restaurants, also keyboards, live and in the studio, for bands ranging from indie rock to German pop, 60s beats, soul and blues. He currently plays solo piano in his programme "Mond im Fische" and party dance music in the Blue Lane Band.

He has played in the unsicht-Bar since 2003, and has managed the Hit the Night programme since 2017. He also leads the audience in singing "Happy Birthday" for any guest who has a birthday on that day. This is however the only song he sings!
