0 Hamish Stuart Band At Glasgow International Jazz Festival – Don’t Miss!

  • June 18, 2014
  • by smoothgroovers
  • · Event News · General News · Not to be missed · Online Media Link · Shades of Soul News

Glasgow born Hamish Stuart first attained international acclaim as the lead guitarist and falsetto voice of the Average White Band,

one of the great self-contained soul/funk bands of the 70s. However, when the band’s popularity began to fade in the early 80s, the

group split and Stuart went his own way. He became a much sought-after guitarist and vocalist, and over the next several years

worked with David Sanborn, Aretha Franklin and others. Most notably, in the late 80s he joined Paul McCartney’s band

as guitarist for a half dozen years and several albums. He also wrote for a number of artists, including Atlantic Starr’s hit“If Your

Heart Isn’t In It” and songs for Smokey Robinson, Jeffrey Osborne, George Benson and Diana Ross.

Stuart continues to perform live with his band and is producing other acts, most recently Gordon Haskell and Swedish

singer/songwriter Meja Beckman.

BARB JUNGR

sings

NINA SIMONE

 

PIZZA EXPRESS, SOHO

 

MONDAY 7TH JULY

 

“Pays true homage to Nina’s feisty spirit” (The Independent, 2008)

 

Taking a break from this year’s tour of her critically acclaimed 2014 album release, Hard Rain The Songs of Bob Dylan & Leonard Cohen, the UK’s finest interpreter of song, Barb Jungr will return to Pizza Express, Soho this July to sing the songs of Nina Simone, as part of the Soho Interpretations series. Barb, along with her accompanist and co-arranger, Simon Wallace on piano, will revisit much of the material from her greatly lauded 2008 album for Linn Records, Just Like A Woman (Hymn to Nina). For this very special, one-off show expect some wonderful new arrangements as well as songs new to Barb’s Simone repertoire.

 

“astute…simmering…intelligent” (The Sunday Times, 2008)

 

“peerless interpreter of contemporary song” (Jazzwise, 2008)

 

Barb recently completed another triumphant run of shows in the U.S.A. Over the past few years the British chanteuse has been wowing critics and audiences alike at home and abroad with her insightful, intelligent interpretations of well-loved songs combined with her powerful and often witty performance style. Barb’s shows in NYC have now reached legendary status, with her latest season there last December completely selling out – don’t miss one of Britain’s best kept secrets live on her home turf.

 

“The only word to describe her dramatic interpretations is revelatory…..I was open mouthed with astonishment.” (New York Times, December 2013)

 

“The commanding and rhapsodic singing brings connection and insight – 8/10

(Uncut, April 2014)

 

“1000 Kisses Deep is simply heart-stopping.” (Sunday Times, 16th March 2014)

 

“It’s a masterclass in the value of interpretive liberty” – Album of the Week 4-stars

(The Independent, 21st & 22nd March 2014)

 

“A notable achievement” – 4-stars (Daily Mirror, 21st March 2014)
