Gill Manly

A blues-edged jazz singer not lacking in testosterone or sensitivity, Manly is a good choice for the task at hand tonight: tackling Nina Simone's now iconic back catalogue with its mix of exaltant gospel vocalisations and brooding, dark emotion. Expect everything from 'Feeling Good' and 'Strange Fruit' to 'My Baby Just Cares For Me' and more. Second of two nights.
