Liane Carroll and Karl Charity

We are delighted to present the wonderful jazz singer- pianist, Liane Carroll, with her guest the highly regarded jazz singer Karl Charity, in Lianes’s third JBGB Events Christmas Lunchtime party 2025 concert.

Liane’s Star Shines over Soho

Following her success in 2024, followed by two double header Spring and Autumn 2025 concerts at Dean Street, to sold out enthusiastic audiences, here is the climax to her triumphant year at Dean Street. This is a chance to be embraced, not only by Liane Carroll’s evocative and compelling singing style and striking accompanying piano playing, but also by her Christmas inspired joyous, upfront, and up-tempo personality.

With her sprinkling of Christmas cheer, with well known songs and some inspiring but lesser-known melodies, Liane’s  Christmas Party Lunchtime concert is guaranteed to put a spring in your step with her best wishes for a very Happy Christmas.

Music commentators are unanimous in their praise.

“One of the most stylistically flexible pianists around, with a marvellous,

slightly husky singing voice" (The Observer).

"A powerful, soul-inflected performer with an Ella Fitzgerald-like improv athleticism and an emotional frankness on ballads" (The Guardian)

Liane’s first four albums all enjoyed four-starred reviews, and, “Ballads” received ***** from Jazz Journal. "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.

And to give you a big flavour of what’s in store, here is Liane in a fabulous, streamed concert in trio format, from Ronnie Scott’s in 2021

Karl Charity, recognised as one of the great male jazz singers in the U.K., and with a successful album “Calling Card” and several great “Music From The Shows” concerts behind him, was inspired by the songs and music of Chet Baker, Mark Murphy, Diane Schuur, Nat King Cole and Miles Davis.

Starting out as an instrumentalist he soon found a new and growing audience as a jazz singer and has now amassed an impressive collection of Jazz standards including all the favourite hits from the Great American Songbook featuring great composers including Gershwin, Cole Porter, Sondheim and Kurt Weill. ?

“I have had the pleasure of working with Karl over many years and without exception, the man delivers a true, complete performance and makes the musicians want to rise to his instinctive level.” - Liane Carroll
