Clare Teals Festive Fiesta

To misquote Mr Sondheim Shes still here!And indeed she is.

Since its first outing in 2009, Clare Teals much-loved Festive Fiesta has been swinging its way into Christmas with great music, quick wit and a healthy disregard for festive decorum.Award-winning singer and broadcaster Clare Teal serves up a cocktail of seasonal favourites, sublime ballads, swinging classics and hidden gems, alongside contemporary numbers, original material and the occasional unexpected guilty cover.Expect music made famous by the likes of Peggy Lee, Doris Day, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald with a few musical left turns along the way all delivered with Clares trademark warmth, expressive and agile voice and instinctive sense of swing.Festive Fiesta has always been about more than the songs.

Clare and her musicians combine first-rate musicianship with spontaneity, stories, silliness and genuine laugh-out-loud moments.

No two Festive Fiestas are ever quite the same.One of the UKs most celebrated interpreters of song and a familiar voice on the airwaves, Clare has presented programmes for BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 3 and Jazz FM and can now be heard on Boom Light.Now in its 18th season of goodwill, this festive evergreen remains inviting, witty and fresh as the mountain snow.Still swinging.

Still surprising.

Still here.
