Eleonora Claps Goes 80’s 3-5pm
Italian-born/ London-based singer and drummer Eleonora Claps presents a set featuring her own original compositions, alongside a selection of 80s pop songs reimagined for jazz quartet.
Accompanied by a band featuring #SimonWallace on piano, Andy Hamill on bass, and Andres Ticino on percussion, Eleonora is on vocals and drums to perform a setlist of evergreen hits, dancefloor fillers, and romantic ballads from the so-called "decade of decadence". Jazzy arrangements are inspired by the synth sounds, drum machines, and chorus pedal effects of the era, as the quartet pays tribute to some of Eleonora's childhood and lifelong musical heroes: Prince, Duran Duran, The Police, Madonna, Sade, and Simply Red - amongst others. Also on the bill are original songs from Eleonora's second album "10PM", which was released in Spring 2024.
A trip down memory lane for those who witnessed that 80s repertoire in real time, and a creative take on songs that have become pop staples for every generation, this will be a concert where nostalgia and surprise intertwine - alongside Eleonora's own musical reflections on modern life and the passing of time.
“The music is full of subtlety and the solos by John Crawford almost creep up and catch you unawares. The music is relaxed throughout and is immensely thought provoking, and the impression is that the solos are strategically placed to allow you to reflect and process the lyrics.”
