See event details

A gig held at The Cloak and Dagger on Thursday 29th July. The event starts at 19:30.


What a great combo! Two very brilliant musicians performing in the same evening :)

Leonie Evans has been performing since the age of 5 and has never stopped. With Hundreds of collaborations with musicians from all over the world under her belt she's created a catalogue of albums and a strong musical family.
As well as being a songwriter for many years Leonie also has a passion for history so plays a lot of pre war Jazz, blues, country, gospel and Latin music. Expect to hear an array of languages and her well known ability to play 'Frumpet' (her name for vocal trumpet).

"Like nothing else I've ever heard in my life"
"I was just blown away with her" Cerys Matthews, BBC Radio 6

"Jazz and Folk flirt en route to New Orleans via Canterbury with Evans' slinky, supple vocal...One slot on Later with Jools holland is all it would take" Prog Magazine

"Leonie Evans' distinctive vocals were magical. An astonishingly good simulated trumpet sound in her understated stride she kept the audience in her thrall." The Bristol Post
