MCD Concerts presents GEORGIE FAME in Concert

Georgie Fame – a true icon of the British music scene

One of a very select number of UK tour dates, Georgie Fame appears in concert the Hammond Theatre for one night only. Georgie will be joined by Tristan Powell (guitar) and James Powell (drums).

With his much loved blend of Jazz and Rhythm & Blues, Georgie Fame has consistently worked in the highest musical circles and has become a true icon of the British music scene.

So far there have been more than twenty albums and fourteen hit singles, including the Number 1’s: Yeh Yeh, Get Away and The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde.  Add to this a long list of collaborations with some of music’s most famous names, including Muddy Waters, Gene Vincent, Bill Wyman, Eric Clapton and Van Morrison, amongst many others, and in Georgie Fame you have bona fide music legend!

In this very special and intimate evening, audiences will be treated to Georgie’s hits, alongside music from the artists that have influenced him – all interspersed with personal stories and anecdotes from his incredible career.
