Turner Sims’ Christmas Season is packed with an assortment of winter warmers.
On Friday 25 November, Cara Dillon, the exceptional Irish vocalist, makes a welcome return for an evening of classic carols, Celtic hymns and other seasonal songs taken from her first Christmas album Upon a Winter’s Night.
On Thursday 8 December, Turner Sims presents Ian and Claire’s Christmas Cracker, featuring Ian Shaw and Claire Martin. Expect seasonal escapism with these two award-winning jazz vocalists, performing the gloss of Fifties Hollywood (Nat Cole, Doris Day, Eartha Kit). The celebrated 1960s Brill Building (Carole King, James Taylor) to the darker spirits of the more contemporary writers (The Pogues, Nick Cave, Joni Mitchell).
Finally on 11 December, a feast of seasonal music awaits with the five female voices of Joglaresa, celebrating Yule with Christmas lullabies, nowells, medieval chants (Nuns Sing of a Rose) and wassails (including the Nuns of Chester Christmas lullaby), all accompanied by fidel, harp, dulcimer and percussion.
