LEGENDARY jazz singer Peggy Lee is the subject of a new show which is to visit Paisley.
The singer and actress will be portrayed by Liz MacEwan, herself an established vocalist.
Peggy Lee counted Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and Judy Garland among her many A-list admirers and enjoyed chart success over four decades from the early 1940’s.
She was nominated for an Academy Award for her role as an alcoholic jazz singer in the 1955 film Pete Kelly’s Blues, in which she starred alongside Janet Leigh, Jayne Mansfield and Lee Marvin.
Liz’s ‘Peggy Lee Songbook’ plays at the Arts Centre in New Street on Friday, February 6 and tickets are now available, priced £10, from 0141 887 1010.
A spokesperson for the show said: “Her classy tones caress favourites like ‘He’s a Tramp’ and the sumptuous ‘Black Coffee’. Singing low, Liz MacEwan is sultry on evergreens like ‘The Folks Who Live On The Hill’, but when she lets loose on the higher notes in Rogers and Hart’s ‘Lover’, the place lights up.”
