Liane Carroll: Friday Night Party

She’s back. You can’t keep a great musician down.

It’s a further return for another solo concert by singer-pianist Liane Carroll, one of our outstanding British jazz greats and perhaps the most appreciated and in-demand musician appearing for our discerning Crazy Coqs regulars.

Long since her recovery from the dreaded Covid pandemic, which forced the cancellation of her Autumn 2022 concert which led to her triumphant recovery Christmas party concert in December, Liane returned for our Springtime 2023 concert with another “dose” of her personal antidote to sadness and despondency.

After her previous sold-out shows, she’s delighted we’ve invited her to return for this start of the weekend Friday Night Party for what she describes as “A wonderful venue and such a great audience. I had a ball. I loved it”.

“Seaside” won CD of the Year at the 2015 British Jazz Awards.

A winner of the British Jazz and Parliamentary Jazz Awards, she received the 2016 Gold Award from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors.

“Transcendent vocal and piano technique, with heart-stopping emotion and soul-bearing power.” – Peter Quinn, Jazzwise

“Liane is one of the UK’s greatest singer/pianists” – The Hoste of Jazz
