Doors to this event will open at 3 pm and the music will commence at 3:30 pm
Inspired by artists such as Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Gladys Knight, Etta James and Aretha Franklin, Shireen brings her top-drawer trio of pianist Gunther Kurmayr, double bassist Eleazar Ruiz and drummer Rick Finlay back to the Bull’s Head for another of their highly popular Lunchtime Sessions. The much-sought-after vocalist has performed all over the world, working with such artists as Billy Ocean, Benny Green, Jim Mullen and John Etheridge amongst many others. Once described as a cross between Ella Fitzgerald, Shirley Bassey and Aretha Franklin, Shireen never fails to impress as she takes you on a heartfelt journey through jazz, blues and gospel repertoire with just a nod to her Caribbean roots. “A beautiful artist with real depth and heart …” Brian Blain, Jazz UK.
