Joni’s Soul
Entry Requirements: Under 18s to be accompanied by an appropriate adult
Joni's Soul began as a collaboration between much loved "from-the-heart" singer Gina Foster and world-class guitarist Ronnie Johnson, in turn attracting some of the UK's very finest players with a shared love for one of the greatest singer/songwriters and guitar innovators of the last half century - Joni Mitchell. Coyote, Hejira, Edith and the Kingpin, The Hissing of Summer Lawns, A Case of You, Trouble Child, Help Me and Gina Foster’s gorgeous version of Both Sides Now - it’s through songs like these that the band explore the unique song-writing and gift of performance Joni Mitchell revealed in her iconic albums Blue, Court and Spark, Hejira, The Hissing of Summer Lawns and beyond. Drawing on their own emotional response to these songs Joni’s Soul have looked beyond merely the faithful reproduction of the Joni Mitchell songbook to shine a light on the most soulful aspects of her words and music. “A captivating evening of world class music ….
