Simone Craddock - Birth of the Blues at The Pheasantry

Direct from the West End, via Ronnie Scotts and Live at Zedel, Actress & Singer/Songwriter, Simone Craddock, brings her “exquisite…impeccable…quite superb” song stylings to the home of the best pizza in London!

She has sung for royalty in Monte Carlo and collaborated with music royalty - bands of Amy Winehouse, Kelly Clarkson and Jason Mraz. She has played full houses around the world with Dirty Dancing, Hello Dolly, Annie & Jesus Christ Superstar and is the voice of children’s animation on Netflix & CBBC. Brian May describes her voice as “beautiful”. The Stage have called her “an elegant diva”. Kind of Jazz said “the audience were on their feet roaring for more!”

This is a rare opportunity to catch a large personality in an intimate venue and in Simone’s words, “be elevated through the restorative powers of beautiful music, lots of laughter…and pizza!” 

From the traditional spirituals of the deep south, to rock n roll, country & blues-feel standards, no-one can resist the rhythmic lure & laughter of the blues! Uplifting songs from the likes of Nina Simone, Sammy Davis Jr, Ray Charles and Simone’s saucy originals…Leave the kids at home, this one gets a little…well, blue in places!
Simone is accompanied by Chris Jerome on piano, Yaron Stavi on double bass & Joel Prime on drums.
