Liza Pulman

Liza Pulman is a critically acclaimed singer, actress and comedienne. Her eclectic career has taken her from Glyndebourne Opera to London’s West End and her work as one third of the legendary British satirical song-writing trio, Fascinating Aida, has seen her perform all over the world. Her extensive solo career has established her as a unique concert performer winning hearts and plaudits for her astonishing vocals and natural storytelling.
Liza’s connection to a song and to a lyric is what separates her from the crowd and takes her right to the heart of every ballad and every note that she sings. Her connection to an audience is just as impressive as her myriad 5* reviews have all noted: it’s not just her flawless vocals but also her easy wit and natural story-telling that make her one of the most compelling performers of her day.
Her solo shows Liza Pulman Sings Streisand and The Heart Of It have played London’s premier theatres including a run at the Lyric Shaftesbury Avenue, at Wilton’s Music Hall, Cadogan Hall and The Other Palace.
In 2023 Liza began a collaboration with the virtuoso pianist and singer Joe Stilgoe in their show A Couple Of Swells. Their new show Hooray For Hollywood opens in spring 2026.

 

Gareth Williams

Pianist, keyboard player and occasional guitarist and vocalist Gareth Williams is one of the unsung heroes of the UK music scene. The Welsh born musician is a brilliant and inspired jazz piano soloist, capable of galvanising the music of any band in which he appears. He turned professional after graduating in English literature from Cambridge University in 1989 and went on to study music at London’s Guildhall, initially on guitar, later switching to the piano.
Williams has worked with the American saxophonists Pee Wee Ellis, George Coleman and James Moody and with the great British vocalist Claire Martin. He has played in live performances as the leader of his own trio, in a duo with guitarist Jim Mullen and in bands variously led by bassist Laurence Cottle and saxophonist Art Themen. Others that he has worked with include blues / jazz vocalist Zoe Schwarz and the band Us3.
