  Catherine Lima’s “Peggy’s Got The Blues”

  

  Catherine Lima – vocals

  Paul Higgs – piano/trumpet

  Alex Field – guitar

  Alex keen – double bass

  Luke de la Salle – drums

   

  Peggy Lee – a dazzling icon of the jazz scene in the 40’s and 50’s was an enduring star who had great success throughout her career and went on to perform until she was well into her 70’s  ‘Peggy’s Got The Blues’ explores her more blues inspired repertoire and the adversities that she overcame. Her voice was very distinctive – it was understated but full of subtlety with a breathy tone that became her trademark – significantly enhanced by her liking for cigarettes! She made over 50 albums covering many different styles of music giving them all her unique treatment – it seemed she could turn her voice to anything – however, she had an innate blues style and Catherine Lima’s ‘Peggy’s Got The Blues’ celebrates that style including her greatest hits. The songs chosen explore wistfulness, irony, joyful memories, regret and out and out defiance!

  ” … a truly amazing performance and tribute to Peggy!” Michele (Ronnie Scott’s)

  ‘Simply Frank’ - Stephen Triffitt

  

  “Stephen is the best, the greatest because he captures the soul of my Father” – Frank Sinatra Jr.

  Stephen Triffitt – vocal

  Nobody does Frank Sinatra better than Stephen Triffitt. His voice, his moves, his style, even his looks – Stephen has made the great man his own. As one journalist put it “You’d swear you’re listening to the original. “Stephen created the role of Frank Sinatra in the original West End  cast of The Rat Pack – Live from Las Vegas as well as opening USA, Canadian and European productions. He has sold out the London Palladium twice and the Royal Festival Hall as well as Frank in the ‘Sinatra Live at the Sands Concert’ tour. Stephen has also completed a 3-year European tour of ‘Frankly Sinatra’

  Accompanying Stephen is this top quartet of musicians from the Len Phillips Swing & the Syd Lawrence Orchestras.

  The Jazz Dynamos

  
  Lucy Randell – vocals & percussion

  Mark Adelman  – piano

  Stuart Curtis – saxes/flute/piccolo

  Anders Janes – double bass

  Dominique Metz  – drums

  We welcome back the Jazz Dynamos who take well known songs and transform them with a mix of jazz, bossa, samba, and contemporary pop music – occasionally all at the same time! Their eclectic repertoire includes everything from classic Peggy Lee to Latin versions of Dolly Parton and Madonna hits – songs such as Matt Bianco’s ‘Half a Minute’ as well as those from the Great American Songbook with everything in-between.

  This range and crossover of material played to a high standard and presented in a unique way, plus their wonderful and engaging vocalist Lucy Randell, makes them ideal for a festival audience, appealing to both aficionados and those perhaps not so familiar with jazz.

  The arrangements themselves, by pianist Mark Adelman are as exquisite as they are surprising, many of which takes ownership of the songs in such a way that the original versions frequently seem dull by comparison!

  Admission £19.50 by prior reservation only
