BARB JUNGR – Walking In The Sun
JAMES SEABRIGHT IN ASSOCIATION WITH NEW GREENHAM ARTS, NEWBURY PRESENTS: BARB JUNGR – Walking In The Sun
Date: Thursday 28th June @ 7pm
Tickets: €18
Venue: Spiegeltent

This new show from Barb Jungr, one of Britain’s leading voices, features her greatest musical and vocal passions: blues and gospel. Reinterpreting the material in her uniquely powerful yet intimate style, Barb delves deep to discover what the songs reveal about the world today. Accompanied by musicians Jenny Carr on piano and Jessica Laurens on keyboards, harmonica and percussion.

The brilliantly varied selection of songs ranges from classics such as ‘Walking In Memphis’, ‘Trouble In Mind’, and Dylan’s ‘Blind Willie McTell’ to new songs by both Eric Bibb and Barb herself.

“Jungr is obviously a star. Her linking chat, which verges on stand-up, is disconcertingly honest and funny.” The Scotsman

“A rapidly rising star, Barb is a genuine original. She knows just how a song should feel.” Time Out New York
