Jazz Nights in The Donovan Bar
Tanqueray will sponsor the next Jazz night on 9th May 2012. Further musical soirees are confirmed for 12th September and 7th November . The Donovan Bar is delighted to once again be teaming up with jazz singer Kelly Dickson and guitarist Werner Kristiansen, to offer a series of memorable evenings of live jazz and soul. Joining them will be some of the hottest saxophone players on the UK scene who have performed with artists such as Amy Winehouse, Jools Holland and Eric Clapton.
Forthcoming date is Wednesday 9th May 2012 and the event starts at 8.30pm with Kelly singing three 45-minute sets. The sponsor of this event is Tanqueray.
Kelly’s powerful vocals and Werner’s undeniable guitar abilities have been heard at numerous venues and festivals across Europe from Glastonbury, The Big Chill to Ronnie Scott’s and The Blue Note in Milan. Kelly has an outstanding reputation with two New York jazz recordings to her name and she opened the John Legend concert at the Dubai Jazz Festival. Jamie Cullum is quoted to say
‘Kelly has a highly individual, mature voice with a subtle power that creeps up on you’, whilst Liane Carroll says ‘Kelly has an outstanding voice, once heard never forgotten. Absolutely brilliant.’ Werner has been described as 'a guitarist of great skill and talent, an absolute virtuoso on his instrument with a sensitivity and ability to completely serve the music’.
A variety of unique Tanqueray cocktails will be available on the night.
