Supported by Strange Fruit - A Billie Holiday Tribute. 'Lady Day" was a true Jazz Diva. Admired the world over for her deeply personal approach to singing, she led a troubled life but somehow rose above it all through her music. Her mesmerising vocals produced many notable standards such as 'God Bless This Child', 'The Man I Love', 'What a Little Moonlight Can Do' and 'Strange Fruit'. In this stunning tribute with its carefully selected set, tales of inspiration and poignant historical anecdotes, Analisa Bell takes you on the journey that is Billie Holiday.
