Clare Teal brings Mini Big Band to Lichfield
Celebrated jazz vocalist Clare Teal brings her energetic and swinging nine-piece Mini Big Band to Lichfield this month.
The award-winning vocalist and Radio 2 presenter and her excellent band of musicians will be performing at the city's Garrick Theatre on October 25.
A spokesperson said: "They effortlessly traverse a rich landscape of timeless and sparkling material, with standards from the grand masters of the Great American Song Book, Cole Porter and Rodgers & Hart, to witty and urbane song stylists of the 50s and 60s like Cy Coleman, Carolyn Leigh and Dave Brubeck. There’s always a nod to more contemporary writers and originals too."
