We are very excited to announce that we will be hosting a concert by the wonderful, world class singer Barb Jungr.

Barb has recently completed another triumphant run of shows in the U.S.A. Over the past few years the British chanteuse has been wowing critics and audiences alike at home and abroad with her insightful, intelligent interpretations of well-loved songs combined with her powerful and often witty performance style. Barb Jungr is a British performer that we should truly cherish.

“One of the best interpreters of Jacques Brel and Bob Dylan anywhere on this angst ridden planet today” (Village Voice, New York)

“…a fantastic English singer … I was just amazed by her voice….” (Jeremy Irons – Desert Island Discs)

“possibly our best interpreter of Dylan’s songs” (Billy Bragg)

Bob Dylan, jazz, northern soul, Nina Simone and continental Europe’s cabaret music perform a subtle dance in Jungr’s consciousness” (The Guardian)

“Jungr demonstrated her startling ability to cut straight to a song’s emotional core, conveying the heartbreaking journey from youthful fantasy to crushing reality. With minimalist arrangements and unusually slow tempos, Jungr focuses her attention squarely on melody and lyrics, drawing us into the story within each song as she makes it hers – and ours.” (The Melbourne Age)
