 Ma Bessie's Prohibition Party featuring Ma Bessie & The Pigfoot Band - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdiVEMKoecf-eD10ZKjozIsZH-ijehL6k - The ‘Empress of Blues’, Bessie Smith, is given the royal treatment in this foray into the 1920s and ’30s prohibition-era blues and jazz. Widely agreed to be the greatest female blues singer ever, Smith lived fast, drank hard and died (relatively) young, in a car crash , aged 43. Here, blueswoman Julia Titus teams a phenomenal vocal power with her live band’s tremendous dynamism to chronicle Smith’s life and musical canon, charting her rise from a one-room shack in Blue Goose Hollow, Tennessee, to becoming the highest-paid black entertainer of that time. “It’s safe to say that an evening with Ma Bessie proves that jazz is good for the soul” Get Reading. Tickets £12 via the link below, Age 18+ Please note that there is no wheelchair access or lift to this first floor event. All proceeds help towards the Town Hall Restoration Project - click HERE for tickets
