David Benson Sings Noel Coward
Stewart Nicholls, Piano
Sunday, 12th September, 3pm

Coward's wonderful songs brilliantly performed by David Benson, returning to the role he played in the BBC series Goodnight Sweetheart. This show premiered at the Assembly Rooms during the 2008 Edinburgh fringe, before touring in an extended version throughout 2009/10. Musical staging and piano accompaniment by Stewart Nicholls.

Featured songs include Mad Dogs and Englishmen, London Pride, Mad About the Boy, I'll See You Again, If Love Were All, Mrs. Worthington.

When David was twelve years old his grandfather gave him a 78rpm record of Coward singing his comic patter song The Stately Homes of England. He was immediately hooked. Now at last he is set to indulge his life-long passion for these songs with this sparkling tribute to The Master.

'David Benson has struck gold again, this time raiding Noël Coward's songbook. He becomes the Master as he sings: dapper in tuxedo, he flutters his eyelids and delivers that clipped repartee to perfection.'
