A celebration of iconic female jazz singers through the decades, with singer/pianist Julie Dunn joined by guitarist extraordinaire Charles Mason. This promises to be a fabulous night of great jazz favourites, not to be missed!

The pair will be performing hit songs such as Billie Holiday’s ‘Lover Man’, Ella Fitzgerald’s ‘Lady is a Tramp’, Sara Vaughan’s ‘Summertime’ and Peggy Lee’s ‘Fever’, together with some great Diana Krall numbers and Julie’s own upbeat tunes.

Julie Dunn has released several acclaimed jazz albums, playing alongside Johnny Dankworth’s son, Alec, and she has toured the country playing in prestigious venues such as the Vortex and the 606 Club in London. She has garnered widespread praise in the press, with Chris Parker describing her as “a class act – warm, compelling…impeccable” and Muse Magazine praising her as a “soulful jazz songstress who effortlessly sings in her distinctively rich and smooth vocal style.”

Charles Mason is a much in demand jazz guitarist-his dynamic playing perfectly complements Julie’s vibrant singing style resulting in a fresh and appealing sound.
