Home Grown Talent Sure To Take Jazz Festival By Storm

The 21-year-old singer songwriter has fast established a reputation as one of the finest ever to have emerged from the region and the organisers of the 6th City of Derry Jazz and Big Band Festival, which takes place in the city during the Bank Holiday weekend from Thursday 3rd - Sunday 6th May 2007 are delighted that she is part of this year’s festival.

“Anyone who has heard Claire Sproule sing has been enthralled by her amazing natural talent. Claire’s heartfelt enthusiasm for music and song is reflected in her performance and fans have been left spellbound by the power of her voice and the eloquence of her lyrics.

“Claire’s a star of immense natural talent and will continue to take the world of music by storm. I hope this is the first of many appearances she’ll make at the City of Derry Jazz and Big Band Festival,” one of the festival organiser’s said.

With tales of love, loss and confusion at the core of her album, Claire has poured her heart, soul and most private thoughts of the last few years into her eponymous debut album. It is startlingly intimate, effortlessly tender and a stunning introduction to someone who is only just beginning to discover what she is capable of.

Tickets for her performance are available from The Nerve Centre Box Office, priced £9/£8. Tel: 028 7126 0562
