Laurie mcvay

This will be the second time that Laurie has performed at the club and the first really was a most enjoyable night. He and the Steps really have put together a wonderful show. Great songs, cool as...ideal for lounge lovers. Please come, relax, enjoy a few cocktails or a bottle of our finest, and be entertained.

They call Laurie McVay ‘the blues-soul man’ – but he sings jazz too! Laurie is one of the new wave of singers (think Mario Biondi or Gregory Porter) who combines jazz sophistication with the passion of soul and blues. To quote a recent review: ‘McVay’s voice is ... rangy yet sensitive. When he sings, you believe his story’. For this performance, Laurie will be joined by jazz luminaries, the Giant Steps Duo; Alan Nicholls on piano and Pete Holder on bass. Together they will perform highlights from the American jazz, soul and blues songbook, including songs from Burt Bacharach, Stevie Wonder, Grover Washington, Ray Charles and Billie Holiday.

Doors 8pm / Performance 9pm Members & their guests free (please book) / Non Members £4 Tickets available on line or at the club by phone
