The Pheasantry (Chelsea)

Our 'Diamond of Songstress’, is back with an intimate and personal tribute to one of the greatest vocalists of all time. The classic and timeless hits that you all know and love, exquisitely delivered by our very own UK Soul Diva, Janine Johnson. It is with great excitement that we prepare for what promises to be a spectacular night with special guest appearances. 

This day marks exactly 5 years since we lost the most awarded female act of all time. We can think of no better way to pay homage.

 

"Janine has a unique ability to captivate and draw the audience in through her amazing voice and persona on stage, weaving a little story throughout her performance and drawing us into her inner sanctuary - which is a special & soulful place to be!"
