acclaim, and with her talented band, she presents a show featuring the
enchanting melodies and ingenious lyrics of Cole Porter.
Claire’s
arrangements and unique, impressive voice ensure that the songs are fresh and
exciting whilst still retaining their original elegance and charm.

Time We Say Goodbye’, ‘Night and Day’, ‘I’ve Got You Under My Skin’ as well

jazz musicians in the country double bass player Jonty
Fisher, and drummer Steve Creese accompany Claire for a wonderful evening of
musical interaction and enjoyment.

the show is also available in a quartet format with the exceptional saxophonist
Frank Walden.
