All About Hope...
Now in her record breaking 11th sold-out rave-review year as resident songstress in London's premiere cabaret room Crazy Coqs: Live at the piano, Miss Hope Springs will leave you spellbound (and very likely speechless) with her ravishing all original repertoire of self penned hits and scandalous showbiz stories. Join Miss Hope Springs as she unpacks her suitcase of dreams and takes you on a trip down her by now, somewhat potholed memory lane with songs and tales from her 'Ritz to the pits’ life in London Paris and erm, Dungeness (where she lives with her husband Irving and his close personal hairdresser pal Carlos in a camper van). She reminisces about her one time paramours (Liberace, Tab Hunter and Noel Coward were just a few of the men who got away) and with 'The voice of an angel...A fallen one' she croons a ridiculously catchy array of Vegastastic musical numbers...
You'll hear finger snapping pop, toe tapping show tunes and bluesy Bossa Novas from her many (mostly unreleased) albums including Je m’appelle Hope, Miss Hope Springs Swings with Strings, Blood Sweat and Sequins, Vegas to Weimar and her seminal 1976 'Memphis' album Queen of Fools...recorded in High Wycombe! At Christmas it's the umpteenth reprise of her hugely popular 1971 Granada TV festive special Christmas Agogo! (to this day considered an unaired classic).
La Springs has gathered a loyal and enthusiastic following since bursting onto the scene. She has sold out prestigious cabaret venues such as Wilton's Music Hall and Wigmore Hall and theatres both in the UK and the USA.
Miss Hope Spring’s erm, musical director Mr Ty Jeffries is a prolific composer and writer whose critically acclaimed works are influenced and informed by the combination of his classical training and his love and knowledge of both the golden age of Hollywood and the Great American Songbook. Ty spent some formative years in Tinseltown (his father was the character actor Lionel Jeffries) and in fact Ty once danced down Sunset Blvd with family friend Fred Astaire...
