Maggie Reeday is one of the Uk’s outstanding jazz vocalists - a jazz diva with a sultry voice who has taken the country by storm with her great sense of rhythm, smooth melodies, vibrant personality and stage presence. With her warm, soulful and swinging delivery she naturally connects with her audience, lighting up any stage! She has performed for the Queen mother in a Royal Variety show at The London Palladium and featured in a succession of shows for ITV. She will be joining us for a very special concert, covering some of the great divas of jazz and soul: Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Anita O’Day, Peggy Lee, Aretha Franklin, Etta James. 

Combine Maggie with the phenomenally gifted, multi-award winning Craig Milverton, who sounds as close to Oscar Peterson as you’re likely to hear, and you have the recipe for a night to remember – pure class. 

The trio: Craig Milverton – piano; Ashley John Long –  double bass; Nick Milward – drums.

What a voice! What a band!

Show 8.00pm. Doors open 7.00pm. Admission £20. No membership required. Clarence House boasts a full bar and free parking.
