“Robert Meadmore’s gorgeous voice is a genuine thing of beauty and can transform a song. This beautifully paced and arranged show, in duo format with one of the most in-demand pianists on the scene – the waggish and ever adventurous Jamie Safir, is drenched in soulful music and naughty banter. Let Meadmore’s singing soothe your worries or augment your joys. Don’t miss it” …. Ian Shaw.
