The Pheasantry (Chelsea)

After a long absence, Clive Rowe returns to The Pheasantry with his close friend and music director,  Wendy Gadian, for a night of pure indulgent pleasure and an evening of Nat King Cole. “We all have our favourite Cole songs but I didn’t really appreciate the depth and breadth of his back catalogue. Spanning years and styles, Nat has quite literally covered it all. From classic ballads “When I Fall in Love”, to up-tempo swing “Route 66”, and even musical theatre “On The Street Where You Live”. Rowe and Gadian will lead you effortlessly through all the colours of Nat King Cole’s extensive palate and may even remind you of some of those great songs that you’ve forgotten but love. “There were so many songs to choose from I couldn’t fit them all in, so in the end I had to be selfish and pick my favourites. I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as Wendy and I enjoy performing them!”
