With two award winning albums behind her, Jacqui is now touring the UK with material from a new record, a group of the finest British musicians and a show not to be missed. Her live concert draws on all kinds of influences including Jazz, Soul, Folk and Blues. “There are very few singers that can sound so good on record and even better when you see them live on stage, Jacqui Dankworth is one of the few who sounds fantastic all the time!” – Michael Parkinson
