Lane's obsession with Brazilian repertoire continues and her band is fresh from the studio having recorded her 6th album - due for release early 2018. Karen and Andy Hamill are reunited with renown Australian violinist Julian Ferraretto visiting London from his home town Adelaide. Previously resident in London, Ferraretto arranged the strings on Karen's revered Bossa Nova album "Taste" and has worked with many of London finest artists. Adding to the line up the talents Rob Luft and Andrea Trillo who recently recorded with Karen this gig will feature Brazilian repertoire and Lane's originals.

Lane's undulating and evocative vocals blend traditional resonances with decidedly modern inflections.

"I know of no one else who sings with what I can only describe as her demure abandon. It's wholehearted but at the same time restrained, precisely phrased but not over studied, a fine and distinctive singer." Dave Gelly

"So laid back that to listen to it you risk slipping a disc - delightful. Perfect for those balmy summer evenings - a genuinely heartfelt homage to the profound allure of bossa nova." Peter Quinn JAZZWISE

"Sensually funky and soulful." Jazz UK Magazine - John Fordham
