Dusty Unplugged

An intimate evening celebrating the music and legacy of Dusty Springfield, one of the most distinctive and influential voices in British popular music.
Line-up
JANETTE MASON – piano
JO HARROP – vocals
SIMON LITTLE – bass
Acclaimed pianist and arranger Janette Mason joins forces with award-winning singer-songwriter Jo Harrop for a stripped-back reimagining of songs spanning Dusty Springfield’s remarkable career, from the timeless heartbreak of “You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me” and “I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself” through to the recordings that introduced her to a new generation in the 1980s. Joined by acclaimed bassist Simon Little, the trio bring warmth, restraint and emotional depth to this extraordinary catalogue.
Janette Mason’s career has taken her from touring with Oasis and Pulp to leading her own acclaimed jazz projects, while Jo Harrop has become recognised for her smoky, intimate vocal style and deeply expressive performances. Praised by Iggy Pop as “a very fine jazz singer”, Harrop brings a rare emotional honesty to songs already rich with feeling.
Together, they revisit Dusty’s music with sensitivity and simplicity, performing the songs alongside telling the stories within them
