Barb Jungr "People & Places"

About the show

Legendary performer Barb Jungr and her trio bring a selection of songs about places and people, both from Jung’s celebrated 45 year back catalogue including Cohen’s ‘Suzanne’, Dylan’s ‘Blind Willie McTell, & Paul Simon’s ‘My Little Town’ together with new material such as “Dylan’s ‘Scarlet Town’ and Jimmy Webb’s ‘MacArthur Park’. “Jungr interprets Dylan & Cohen’s work with a ferocity and truthfulness that demolishes every cover version you have ever heard…..” – The New York Times. One of the most accomplished British singers of her generation, Barb's formidable talent as a singer, composer and lyricist is equalled by her ability to re-interpret familiar songs and reveal new depths of meaning and beauty. An evening spent with Barb Jungr is truly a revelation.

Internationally acclaimed, Jungr continues to evolve her signature style while her transcendent artistry both live, recorded, and in theatre, continues to delight audiences. With deep musical roots and a career spanning decades and continents and musical genres, Barb Jungr defies categorisation. “The brilliant jazz singer on world-beating form.…a true musical alchemist...” – The Telegraph. Simon Wallace (Clare Teal, Ian Shaw) is one of the most sought after arrangers and accompanists in the country and his collaboration with Jungr spans nearly 30 years. Joining Barb & Simon for this exciting new show will be the celebrated bassist Steve Watts (Joe Lovana, Kenny Wheeler).
