Songbirds 2025
Sunday 26th Oct, Hampton Hub Club
An uplifting journey of song, celebrating some of the most iconic female singers and songwriters ever known. Devised and performed by acclaimed vocalists Mary Bourne and Jessa Liversidge, as well as special guest performers. Following the resounding sell-out success of Songbirds last October, Mary and Jessa are delighted to be bringing their 2025 version of the show to Hampton Hub.
From classic pop songs through the decades (Karen Carpenter to Dolly Parton, Kate Bush to Annie Lennox, Amy Winehouse and more) to the hilariously clever comedy of Victoria Wood, as well as original songs by Mary and Jessa, this evening features a huge range of songs and styles, all brought together to celebrate the voices of women through the decades, and performed with a superb band of live musicians.
Lots of songs you know and love, with a few surprises thrown in.
One of our favourite performances
A blast from the past. This amazing arrangement of Guide thee oh thou great redeemer was first taught to our Musical Director in 1986. It was written by her Music Teacher Chris O’Hara and she always vowed to one day sing it again as an adult. Almost 30 years later and still sounding fabulous.
