David McAlmont

Set One: You Go To My Head

You take a classic song and a great voice - and, as David McAlmont says, when you put the two together you can't really go wrong.

McAlmont has long had the voice. From his hits with Bernard Butler through his acclaimed solo releases to his collaborations with the likes of David Arnold and Craig Armstrong, his unique voice with its multi-octave range has adorned and enriched British music for a decade and more.

In the old cliché David McAlmont could sing the phone book and make it sound good. But a great singer deserves great songs - hence   Set One:  You Go To My Head, a glorious collection of classics and standards that provides a timeless vehicle for his thrilling voice.

They include songs by Cole Porter, Johnny Mercer and Harold Arlen made famous by the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra, such as You Go To My Head, Under My Skin, Night and Day and One For My Baby.

Tickets: £12, £10 concessions from 01792 60 20 60
