Liza Pullman with Gareth Williams (piano), two extraordinary artists right at the top of their game, are bringing proper West End glamour to Ashburton this Friday.
Liza mixes history, warmth and humour in this “truly world class show” (Encore Radio), that has played to sold-out houses and standing ovations at The Other Palace, Wilton’s Music Hall and The Lyric in London’s West End.
The acclaimed singer (and one third of the iconic Fascinating Aida) Liza Pulman explores the Great American Song Book, starting with the genius of Harold Arlen and moving on to Rodger’s & Hart, Irving Berlin, Fats Waller, Cole Porter, De Silva, Henderson & Brown and as many of their wonderful songs as she can possibly cram into one, bijoux evening. Her effortless vocals and unique musicianship are partnered with award winning jazz pianist and composer Gareth Williams who is known as one of the most intensely creative, dynamic and exciting performers in the UK.
Together, they send a love letter to the Great American Songbook.
“Pulman may look bright and beautiful and demure, but she knows how to wield a flick-knife”★★★★ Clive Davis, The Times

See Access, Tickets & Finding Us for more about why there are three ticket prices, plus other useful info about coming to events at Ashburton Arts Centre: getting here, parking, loos, PA tickets, etc.
* We usually have three ticket prices – please pay what you can. If you can pay the full price, that’s great. If choosing a cheaper ticket allows you to come to more things, then please do! Ticket receipts are split between the artists (it’s usually their livelihood!) and the arts centre (keeps the place going). Except on the rare occasions when we have a sellout gig on our hands, it’s always better to have someone here in the audience than an empty seat, so genuinely, please pay whatever you can.
