POPULAR Cheltenham entertainer, boogie woogie/jazz pianist and vocalist Peter Gill, known not just for being the Musical Director for British entertainment legend Anita Harris (with whom he has just released a single), but also for his outstanding performances as rock n roll great Jerry Lee Lewis in theatre shows Rock n Roll Paradise and The Jerry Lee Lewis Story, will put everyone in the Christmas mood with this hugely enjoyable evening.

Appearing on stage with his swing band friends, the show is a charming, eclectic mix of jazz standards and Christmas gems such as 'White Christmas', 'Santa Claus Is Comin To Town', 'Baby It's Cold Outside', 'Winter Wonderland' and 'Mr Bojangles'.

For fans of sublime, cool swing, boogie and blues interlaced with friendly and witty banter, this is a show not to be missed. Amongst those joining Peter on stage will be nationally acclaimed performers Kim Cypher (saxophones), Eddie McManus (bass), Michael Croshaw (guitar) and Mike Cypher (drums).

A Swinging Christmas Evening will be performed at The Cheltenham Playhouse on Wednesday 9 December. For tickets call 01242 522852.
