Henri Herbert Announces Solo Boogie Shows
Greetings rockers and piano fans!
To celebrate the upcoming April 1 release of my solo record “Boogie Woogie Piano”, I am playing a couple of UK solo piano shows this spring – the first is at The Club Foot in Harlow on March 29, where I will be playing with the great Chas Hodges. Many of you will know Chas from Chas n Dave but he also played bass for The Killer and accompanied him on backing vocals on The London Sessions. There will be a special screening of “Instrument of Change” – a documentary about street pianos featuring myself, Chas and Jools Holland.
