Cleo Laine’s recent appearance at the Barbican’s Big Band Britannia concert literally stopped the show, receiving a standing ovation for her tribute to the music of her partner of decades, Sir John Dankworth.

Cleo returns to the Barbican with a new programme that includes the next generation of a hugely gifted family – singer Jacqui Dankworth and bassist Alec Dankworth – as featured guests. With a charismatic stage presence, and a vocal range that never ceases to astonish, Cleo Laine is one of the great figures in jazz today.
