How to make an entire town fall in-love with you?
Well it’s a cinch if you’re the legendary homegrown chanteuse, Ms Jackie Clarke.
Taking our audience through a set drawn from many of the great female voices of the last 90 or so years, accompanied by the debonair maestro, Karl Benton on keyboard, Jackie held us in the palm of her hand.

Starting with the great Nina Simone’s “Feeling Good” and proceeding through songs originally sung by divas such as Ethel Merman, Peggy Lee (twice!), Judy Garland, Alberta Hunter, Shirley Bassey, Barbra Streisand, Kate Bush, Elizabeth Stokes, and many more, this was a show that pulled out all the stops, Jackie holding nothing back in her renditions of such a distinguished catalogue. This self-styled “Pacifica Rita Hayworth, with a touch of Spotlight” really knows how to entertain.
Needless to say, she will always be welcome in Granity, we hope to see her return soon.
