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

“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)

Barb recently completed another triumphant run of shows in the U.S.A.
