Cabaret Live - Sunday Sept 7

From Nikki Aitken, host of Cabaret Live - the first Sunday of the month @ La Boheme.

The audience saw 19 wonderful performances accompanied by the amazing Matthew Carey with singers from local talent and special guests from The Buddy Holly Story Musical now playing at Her Majesty's Theatre until the end of the month. So in love with our night and La Boheme, the cast of Buddy Holly are eager to hop onto stage again at La Boheme and organisation is in motion for an afternoon on Sunday 20th of October - keep your ears to the ground - or here and we'll spread the word as soon as it's confirmed.

I was so excited to host such a successful night and can't wait for the next one on the 4th of October and hope to see some more new faces getting up and having a sing!

Cabaret Live! will feature on the first Sunday of the Month at La Boheme, hosted by Nikki Aitken and accompanied by Matthew Carey or Chris Martin.
