ONE of the UK’s leading jazz singers is set to return to Chipping Sodbury for a third visit in two years when Clare Teal appears in concert at the Town Hall next January.

The Rotary Club of Chipping Sodbury announced that the concert is being staged to raise funds to donate to the British Red Cross Red Crescent Societies Syrian Refugee Crisis Appeal.

Clare Teal is one of the UK’s most celebrated and much loved jazz singers, as well as a prolific recording artist and popular BBC Radio 2 broadcaster. To date she has recorded and released 13 albums to public and critical acclaim. Her stunning voice, encyclopaedic knowledge of jazz, swing and big band music, and her innate warmth and wit have made Clare one of the most sought after singers and broadcasters in the country.

Event organiser and Rotarian Mark Lloyd commented: ‘we are delighted that Clare has agreed to come back to Chipping Sodbury where she always receives a rapturous welcome from a sell out audience. Her appearance will undoubtedly help us to raise much needed funds to give to Syrian people living in appalling conditions in the refugee camps’.

Clare will be appearing at Chipping Sodbury Town Hall on Thursday, January 28. Tickets at £20 or reserved £22.50 are available by calling 01454 334410 or email rounceval-house@btconnect.com
