Joan of jazz
The first female UK artist to debut at No1 in Billboards Blues charts, she promised her Londonderry fans “a good mixture of songs” when she steps out under the spotlight.
In addition to all her popular favourites from the 70s and 80s, Joan will also be playing songs form her blues/pop/rock and Jaxx trilogy of CDs which began with Into The Blues in 2007, followed up by This Charmed Life in 2012 and now her latest CD, the jazz-fuelled Sttarlight.
