DOUBLE STANDARDS

With the Great Songbook Experience Trio

We promise you a great night of songs you know and remember featuring Clare Martin and John McGill

John McGill hails from Scotland and since arriving in New Zealand in the 90s he has become a highly regarded and experienced vocalist and front man for a number of big bands in the Auckland region, as well as performing with a variety of combos. He recently thrilled an audience of all ages at the Mahurangi Regatta with a repertoire which draws of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bobby Darin, Perry Como and Tony Bennett, to name a few, and his relaxed unassuming style, sharp wit and Las Vegas style delivery will trigger lots of memories.

Clare Martin is an ex-opera singer (NZ and UK) who re-found her mojo in jazz and blues. She studies jazz singing with Julie Mason, regularly performs Ben Fernandez and sings with Imperfect Offering a Leonard Cohen tribute band and with various jazz groups. Clare is a singing teacher and coach, events organiser, and a music reviewer and radio DJ with the Radio13 Music Collective and will be singing some favourite jazz numbers.

The Trio features Ben Fernandez, Stuart Johnstone and Trevor Thwaites
