Book for Lunch

You might recognise David from Sunday afternoons spent at Indigo, he can be found tinkling the ivories for us each Sunday during Lunch and Amelia has sung on many occasions at our very popular Jazz and blues events. This Christmas they join us for a performance of songs and renditions of popular festive tunes with Amelia providing the vocals, accompanied by Piano from David Bennett, whilst you dine, chat and soak up the Christmas spirit.

Amelia Carr is a leading musical theatre vocal coach and session singer in the west end, with clients worldwide in the professional theatre and film industry. Amelia grew up in show business, later performing roles such as Sandy in Grease, Kathy in Singing in The Rain, Nellie in South Pacific and most pleasurably, Maria in The Sound Of Music, taking up teaching fifteen years ago alongside her touring schedule and was hooked, most recently receiving a 1st class Masters Degree in Vocal science specialising in Musical Theatre vocals. 

David is a professional pianist, published composer and YouTube educator. His work in music has taken him on many exciting adventures: from a residency at Monaco's Casino de Monte Carlo, to recording at Abbey Road studios, and even starring in an episode of WDR's 'Wunderschön!' with his band The One Night Band.

It is always a delight for Amelia to perform in her hometown, and together they cannot wait to add some glamour and sparkle to the programme at Indigo this Christmas. 

There will be a £3:95 cover charge per person.
