A multi-ethnic British-Nigerian girl brought up on the mean streets of Cardiff Wales. An extraordinarily white New Mexican brought up on the wind-swept prairie. The similarities are astounding!

One has won countless awards the world over; the other once got a blue ribbon from the county fair. One has recorded historic themes for no less than three James Bond films; the other has seen those movies at least once. One was named Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire; the other has been called a big ole queen more than a few times.

But both have voices so big, they’ll blow your damned wig clear across the street!

And now they meet on stage for the very first time! John Burns and Dame Shirley Bassey! (Well, not actually Shirley Bassey, just the songs she made famous!)

Come enjoy an evening of songs, laughter and plenty of alcohol as we celebrate the great Welsh songtress and see what a country boy can learn from her remarkable career.
