A night with Clare Teal

MUCH-admired performer Clare Teal plays at the Stratford-upon-Avon ArtsHouse on Friday, 24th June.

The last time she came to the town the Radio 2 presenter had her ‘big band’ with her, but this time the concert will be a more intimate affair as she is simply accompanied by piano, bass and drums.

From swing to sublime ballads, Clare’s concerts with her trio are renowned across the country for their fabulous arrangements interspersed with Clare’s warm and witty storytelling guaranteeing the audience something personal and very special.

The rich, jazz infused repertoire explores timeless classics penned by the legendary musical storytellers of the last 100 years, and celebrates giants of the Great American and British songbooks, through to the work of more contemporary writers, plus Clare’s own original compositions.

The eclectic song list, with music from Cole Porter, Billy Strayhorn, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Van Morrison, Tim Rice to Sting, and honouring the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Nancy Wilson and Peggy Lee, will include a selection of material from her new album, Twelve O’Clock Tales.

Tickets are £20 from stratfordartshouse.co.uk or on 01789 2071000.
