STAGES with Lenny Beige — Songs on a Hot Summer's Night

Some songs only belong to summer. The warm night that won't end. The window left open. The feeling you want to hold on to a little longer.

These are those songs — and this is the night for them.

Love. Celebration. Longing. The whole season, sung. Lenny Beige gathers them up and brings them home on the 4th of July — expect fireworks, metaphorically speaking, and an evening built to make the feeling of summer last well past the final encore.

A summer salon, designed and built for one evening only. The standards you have known all your life. The classics you had half-forgotten you loved. And the kind of song that arrives once, unannounced, and follows you home still humming on the walk back.

Lenny Beige hosts, a quintet swinging behind him. And the first voice confirmed: Liane Carroll — one of the most celebrated singers in British jazz. The phrasing other singers study. The warmth that wins a room before the first chorus is finished.

This is STAGES at Circle & Star. One hot summer's night. Independence Day, fifty-five seats, and every song close enough to feel it breathe.

The first Lenny Beige since April. And the last until the Autumn.

So join us.

✨ Further guests to be announced.

ABOUT LIANE CARROLL

One of the great British jazz vocalists of her generation. BBC Jazz Award winner. Parliamentary Jazz Award winner. A long-standing fixture at Ronnie Scott's, with recordings on Linn Records and Splash Point Records, and a working life that has put her on stages with Ray Brown, Gerard Presencer and Mark Murphy.
