A collection of songs from around the world, sung in the native language of the songwriter; songs from France, Germany, Italy, Brazil, Mexico, North America and the UK - all which have earned their place in the worldwide jazz songbook to be enjoyed by millions.

Wendy Kirkland sings and plays piano, taking you on a whistlestop tour of the world through music and song. Featuring an absorbing and informative narrative to transport you to the country and time of the song’s origin! Wendy is joined by Pat Sprakes, the ‘Bossa King’ on guitar, Mike Green on double bass, Steve Wyndham on drums, all regular collaborators and friends from the very beginning of Wendy’s journey which started with Piano Divas in 2017 and continued through to performances at Ronnie Scott’s and Pizza Express in London, and nationwide press and radio accolades.
