Three Foolish Things

Three Foolish Things make their long-awaited London debut at Crazy Coqs, performing their favourite songs from the American Songbook. Sarah Gabriel (vocals), Steve Dummer (clarinet) and William Vann (piano) have battled it out over their very long longlist to select fifteen miniature masterpieces: music from composers including George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Leonard Bernstein, Kurt Weill and Harold Arlen, and words from legendary lyricists such as Dorothy Field, Comden & Green and Ogden Nash. An hour of gorgeous, beloved tunes, with a few surprises too.

Sarah, Will and Steve first appeared as Three Foolish Things at Dartington Festival. Between them, they have performed at venues including National Theatre, Young Vic, Wigmore Hall, Southbank Centre, Sadlers Wells, Royal Albert Hall, at festivals such as Latitude, Supersonic, Cheltenham and Edinburgh International Festivals, and in concerts all over the world.
