An evening of conversation and song featuring the powerhouse, legendary New Jersey-born singer, Madeline Bell, alongside one of her long-time collaborators, the BBC and Parliamentary Award-winning singer, pianist and broadcaster, Ian Shaw.
This show marks Madeline’s return to Crazy Coqs following her sold-out shows last year. Madeline is perhaps most closely associated with Dusty Springfield – she was there from the beginning, her gospel-drenched voice creating the Dusty sound.
With Ian Shaw at the piano, these two old friends weave a magical show – whether singing Hal David and Burt Bacharach classics together (Ian recorded ‘Alfie’ in New York, with the Titan US pianist, Cedar Walton) or telling musical and showbiz stories, this concert is unmissable. Expect searing ballads, swinging songs from the American classic canon, the odd surprise (!) and of course, the unmistakable voice of an era – Madeline Bell.
“She’s one of the greats” – Elton John
“The real sound of classic pop and soul.” – Paul Gambaccini
“A tour de force” – The Guardian
