Pianist Philip Clouts’ international career has included playing at Ronnie Scott’s, large festivals such as Glastonbury and Womad, and equally in the plush and intimate surroundings of London’s Lanesborough Hotel. Jazzwise magazine has praised his ‘enjoyable, easy swinging’ playing, and his albums have received widespread critical acclaim and national airplay, including on BBC’s Jamie Cullum Show.

The evening will feature ballads including “As Time Goes By” and “Misty,” soulful tunes like Ray Charles’ “Hallelujah I Love Her So”, songs from musicals such as “On the Street Where you Live,” and of course “My Funny Valentine”

Unfortunately the upstairs bar is not accessible by wheelchair as there is a staircase.
