JONNY KERRY QUARTET
SUGGS – A LIFE IN THE REALM OF MADNESS
The Jonny Kerry Quartet is an acoustic ensemble inspired by Gypsy Jazz, New Musette, Classical & Tango music. The quartet performs dynamic and lyrical arrangements of both standards and original compositions that draw upon diverse international rhythms and musical idioms. The quartet is led by accordionist and singer Jonny Kerry and completed with guitarists Harry Diplock, Ducato Piotrowski and Mike Green on double bass.
To miss this event would be... er... Madness. That’s because Nutty Boys frontman Suggs will appear in Lincoln in January to explain why, as he’s said himself: ‘fame is a tightrope and I’ve fallen off many times...’ With help from Deano his trusty pianist, he tells his story in words and music with the help of some Madness classics and a couple more ‘what he wrote all on himself.’ Expect House of Fun, It Must Be Love, and Our House. n New Theatre Royal, Lincoln, Clasketgate, Lincoln LN2 1JJ. Tickets £30.50, from 7.30pm. See www.newtheatreroyallincoln or call 01522 519999.
