The Pheasantry (Chelsea)

Joni’s Soul celebrate Joni Mitchell’s 75^th birthday with this much acclaimed exploration of the unique songwriting and gift of performance she revealed in her iconic albums Blue, Court and Spark, Hejira, The Hissing of Summer Lawns and beyond … Joni's Soul began as a collaboration between much-loved "from-the-heart" singer Gina Foster and former longtime Van Morrison guitarist Ronnie Johnson, attracting some of UK's very finest players with a shared love for an artist widely considered to be one of the greatest singer/songwriters and guitar innovators of the last half century.

"A captivating evening of world-class music .... a musical journey of interwoven word plays and melodic sweeps"

Get Ready To Rock

Coyote, Hejira, Edith and the Kingpin, The Hissing of Summer Lawns, A Case of You, Trouble Child, Help Me and Gina’s gorgeous version of Both Sides Now - it’s through songs like these that the band, drawing on their own emotional response to these classics, look beyond merely the faithful reproduction of the Joni Mitchell songbook and shine a light on the most soulful aspects of her words and music. The band's recently released cd 'Shades Of Joni' passionately illustrates their well-defined and warm interpretations of some of the finest songwriting and performance of the twentieth century.
