Honor Heffernan & Trevor Knight Band

About this event

An evening of songs from The Whistling Girl, Cohen, Joni Mitchell etc

Honor Heffernan (vocals) and Trevor Knight (keyboards) together with their band (Ed Deane guitar, Garvan Gallagher bass, and Tom Jamieson drums) will present an exciting evening of original music interspersed with songs by writers such as Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Brecht and Weill , Diamanda Gallas and Peter Green.

The original songs will be taken from their acclaimed show “The Whistling Girl”, featuring music composed by Trevor that was inspired by the poetry of the great American poet, wit and critic Dorothy Parker.

The songs are each infused with a unique ‘voice’, creating individual tableaux or dream moments from Parker’s psyche, conjuring up images from her tempestuous life of outrageous celebrity as founding member of the notorious Algonquin set in New York, and as civil rights activist in America and Spain during the Spanish Civil War.

“I shall stay the way I am, because I do not give a damn!”     (Dorothy Parker)
