Future Legend…
No, it’s not a Keith Moon tribute, it’s only Lenny bleedin’ Beige though, ain’t it? There’s not much I can say about Lenny that hasn’t already been said…and I don’t want to say any more, so here’s the official blurb stuff instead…
————————————————————————————————————–
Beige is Back with his Night of Legends at The Pigalle Club, Piccadilly, in London’s West End. The King of Cabaret and Light-Entertainment leviathan pays tribute to the cream of musique in shows that combine guests, chat and a heavy dollop of Beige magic. It’s the perfect medicine for these rather depressing credit-crunching times.
In the first show Beige pays tribute to Bowie the musical chameleon and man who began his long and illustrious career citing Anthony Newley as his major influence. A man who just so happens to be Lenny’s idol and surrogate father figure.
Beigefact No.198: Did you know it was Lenny who suggested Bowie sacked his band live on stage at the Hammersmith Odeon for the final date of the Ziggy Stardust tour? Beige had done the same thing the month previously with his band at a night headlining Lenny Beige’s Platinum Plated Palace of Varieties and Boothed Showbar in Diss.
Expect some of Bowie’s biggest hits reworked by Beige and the Malcolm Edmonstone Quartet alongside guests like: Guy Pratt, David McAlmont, David Arnold, Brucie Lee, Jess Robinson, Glen Richardson, and more to be announced. (Due to the flakey nature of showpeople names will change before the final line-up is confirmed. That is only to be expected. Many performers find it hard to master the intricacies of running a diary. Don’t worry as the shows are always first class and the Beige-talent filter means only the highest quality of act is booked).
We have frozen tickets at 2008 prices!!!! You may feel nauseous when you read tickets are £45. But when we tell you this also includes not only the show but a three course slap-up supper cooked by some of Europe’s finest gastronomes the nausea passes and you are filled with elation as the sheer value for money good-will courses through your veins.
Beige’s Night of Legends have sold out for the past season. You know that Lenny is a top draw and booking is therefore advisable. Really, it is!!
The first show, Legend of Bowie, is on Wednesday 18th February.
Bookings can be made in advance by calling The Pigalle Box Office on 0845 345 6053 or through
Extra warm-up shows: In order to start to get back in shape after a Chanukah hiatus Beige is planning a couple of warm up shows.
The first is an appearance at The Paradise Music Room in Kensal Rise, West London on Wednesday 11th February and then?Notting Good Taste at the Century Theatre on Westbourne Grove on Friday 13th ? unlucky for some ? ie; those that won?t attend and miss the great man up close and intimate. This night is hosted by Beige?s long time bass playing pal, Guy Pratt.

I’ll leave you with a challenge from the man himself: “You show me a better show and I will show you a liar. With the aid of a mirror. Pointed at your face.”
