The Ronnie Scott's Story

The Ronnie Scott's Story

The Ronnie Scott's All Stars are the 'house' band at Ronnie Scott's and have been playing at the club since 2007. The quintet features a vocalist and a saxophonist alongside a trio comprising of Piano, Bass and Drums.


This show is a history of the club from its origins through to the present day and is a mix of live jazz, narration, rare archive photos and video footage. It features classic music from the jazz greats who have performed at the club over its incredible 60+ year history such as Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Nina Simone and Buddy Rich. There is also instrumental music including a composition by Ronnie himself. Alongside the music there are tales of old Soho with anecdotes about miscreant musicians, film stars, celebrity visitors, gangs and police raids. This is a unique show and is a fitting tribute to one of the world's most famous jazz venues.

Kenny! – The Kenneth Williams Centenary Musical

Kenny! – The Kenneth Williams Centenary Musical

A one-off. A comic genius. Jekyll and Hyde. These are some of the ways in which Kenneth Williams could be described. Now, in the year in which he would have turned 100, a new musical will open at Uppingham Theatre to celebrate the centenary of the iconic comedy actor, born on 22 February 1926. Wink Taylor stars as Kenneth. ‘He captures every single vocal inflection and nuance seemingly with ease, to the point that you could easily forget at times this is not the genuine article, which is testament to Taylor’s brilliance.’ (SetTheTape on Screaming Queens)

 

Uppingham actor and writer Henry Dawe has written the book and lyrics to the show, with music by Tom Neill. Direction is by John Hewer and musical direction by Christopher Peters. One hundred years on from Kenneth’s birth, the team’s mission is to pay tribute to Kenneth and to recognise the contribution he made whilst fighting his troubles.
