Get ready for a swingin’ affair with saxophonist Fliss Gorst and band performing authentic swing, original tunes, and new takes on old classics. This evening’s gig features special guest Canadian jazz vocalist Lauren Bush. Fliss and Lauren have been working together on and off for a decade, they performed at Fliss’ monthly residency at Poppies in Camden for seven years. They’ve collaborated on shows at festivals & theatres across the UK as well as London venues such as Ronnie Scott’s & The Spice Of Life.
