Gala Dinner feat. James Morrison, Emma Pask and Mal Webb Sold Out!
Tuesday 20 January at 7pm
Emma Pask started singing jazz at the age of 14. In 1994 James Morrison visited her school and on hearing Emma's vocal skill, invited her to sing with his Quartet . Two years later Emma became the vocalist with the James Morrison Quartet and Big Band. The star duo are sure to provide a most memorable night of musical entertainment for the Gala dinner, included in full registration prices. Limited spaces available for partners and friends.
Mal Webb is a vocal gymnast, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter: ballads, beatbox and beyond, a jolly jaw dropping journeyman, eclectic, ebullient and even educational who doesn't even mind the odd alliteration! Mal uses a world of vocal techniques and writing styles. He also plays the guitar, mbira, slide trumpet, chromatic harmonica, a loop recording pedal called Derek, and the audience... a lot.
