The spirit of New York cabaret legend Nancy LaMott will come alive in the heart of London with "Listen to Her Heart", a heartfelt tribute celebrating her extraordinary musical legacy on the 30th anniversary of her passing. This evocative show features acclaimed London singer Nicky Gayner, accompanied by the renowned pianist Tom Wakeley, under the masterful direction of esteemed composer David Friedman.

 

"Listen to Her Heart" is more than just a cabaret performance—it’s an intimate homage to LaMott’s deeply moving artistry, featuring an exquisite selection of songs by David Friedman and others, with arrangements by the renowned Christopher Marlowe. The show promises to transport audiences through the poignant melodies, heartfelt lyrics and personal stories that defined LaMott’s career, captivating both long-time fans and new listeners alike.

 

For Nicky Gayner, this project is profoundly personal. Though separated by time and geography, Nicky's connection to Nancy's music runs deep, rooted in shared life experiences that resonate through LaMott’s emotive performances. "If Nancy were alive today, everyone would know her name," says Nicky. "Her music touched me in ways I can’t fully describe, and I believe a British audience needs to be reminded of these songs and feel that connection too."

 

With David Friedman —producer of all of Nancy’s cd’s—at the helm, "Listen to Her Heart" offers an authentic and heartfelt experience, ensuring LaMott’s voice echoes through every note. This unique collaboration blends the vibrant essence of New York cabaret with British musical sensibility creating an unforgettable evening that celebrates life, love, the enduring power of song and honouring  Nancy’s memory and celebrating her remarkable legacy.
