After their astounding success last year at Crazy Coqs, Claire Martin and Joe Stilgoe return with their new show April in Paris, celebrating the most romantic city in the world - Paris - The City Of Light. From Gershwin to Cole Porter, Charles Trenet to Maurice Chevalier, with detours into Joni Mitchell, Jacques Brel and Bernie Taupin, this Parisian programme will be a whirl of French glitz, glamour and Gauloises, it promises to be magnifique. Claire Martin needs little introduction. To worldwide critical acclaim she has established herself as a tour de force on the UK jazz scene gaining many awards, including winning the British Jazz Awards six times, along the way. Claire has toured extensively throughout the UK, Scandinavia, Russia and China, appearing with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and her world-class trio. She has been awarded an OBE for her Services to Jazz. Joe Stilgoe is one of the world's finest singer-pianists, touring constantly with his band and as a solo act, having appeared at jazz clubs and festivals around the world. Last summer he made his solo debut at the Edinburgh Fringe where his show One Hour! was a sell-out and garnered much critical acclaim.
