Just over an hour of pure class.
HMV Choice
Last night New York cabaret came to Harrogate, the heart of two supreme musical artists raising the temperature. Claire's ice queen white suit and choice of June Christy's Something Cool, did little to lower the heart - these two controlled incendiaries burning from gas mark 1 to gas mark 10. Alternating solo with duets, the voice/piano format allowed effortlessly impromptu key changes and both artists are fond of little-heard verses to well-known songs - Embraceable You, Isn't This A Lovely Day and Noel Coward's World Weary.
