Julian Martin writes;

I’m very excited to be performing with acclaimed jazz vocalist Andra Sparks on November 25th at St Edwards Church from 7.30.

Here are a few reviews of Andra’s work:

‘Sparks sings with an assurance and ease, taking the journey through the emotional and lyrical territory of the diverse repertoire and making it whole.  If I heard this on the radio I would immediately want to know who this singer was.’  Barb Jungr - Musician Magazine

‘Irish singer with a very broad experience in straight music and jazz, and an amazingly beautiful voice’
Swanage Jazz Festival

‘There’s something remarkable about Andra Sparks’ singing – sure she has the clear diction, the sense of timing and the precise intonation that you expect of a top vocalist, yet on top of this she has a rare ability to create totally engaging performances without all the effort and effects on which many others depend.  She just seems to sing the songs (in this case a collection of superior standards) yet turn them into highly charged statements’
Jazz UK

‘Apart from the glorious voice Andra projects an emotional depth and maturity which is quite unusual’
Musician

This is an unticketed event on a “Pay what you like” basis and doors will open at 7.00. There will be wine and soft drinks available after the concert.
