Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club
Continuing the series of Saturday brunch shows in which Ian is up-close and personal with luminaries from the UK music scene.
In April, Ian welcomes The George Michael Singers, offering fans of Ronnie’s, George Michael and the much missed UK singer-songwriter, Linda Lewis, a rare, behind-the-scenes look at Shirley, Jo and Jay’s working and offstage relationship with George — from 1986 to his final Symphonica tour.
In May, Ian is joined by Jean Toussaint, a master of the tenor and soprano saxophone, whose career serves as a bridge between the golden age of hard bop and the contemporary UK scene.
Expect live performance, conversation and Q&A.
