Friends for 30-years, multi award-winning vocalist Claire Martin OBE and legendary saxophonist and vocalist Ray Gelato have combined their love of all things “swing” and joined forces for their first show together, A Swingin’ Affair.

These much celebrated and respected musicians share the stage with a world-class trio led by renowned-pianist Dave Newton to explore the Great American Songbook – including classics such as Let’s Call the Whole Thing Of, They all Laughed and Can’t We Be Friends.

If you like your music sassy, sharp and swinging, get your tickets for this concert taking place at the South Holland Centre tonight.

A swinging affair indeed!

Audience members are invited to arrive from 6.45pm to hear some free youth jazz from All Blue in the Lounge Bar.

“She ranks amongst the four or five finest female jazz vocalists on the planet,”

“Not for nothing is Gelato known as ‘The Godfather of Swing’.”
The Telegraph
