The Music of Elton John and Billy Joel
Saturday 27th February, 7.30pm
Singer songwriter John Reilly and Canadian pianist and
songwriter Lewis Nitikman grew up on different sides of the Atlantic, but
listening to the music of Elton John and realising that these tunes had a
profound effect on both of their musical careers, which led to this series of
concerts which have been played throughout the country over the last few years.
Sometimes they also add the timeless songs of Billy Joel to their repertoire
and are very much looking forward to bringing this show to Trinity Arts Centre.
The concert is not a tribute, but a celebration of the music of Elton John and
Billy Joel. John Reilly, whose albums have received both national and
international air play, sings the songs very accurately, but in his own
inimitable style and also plays percussion and harmonica, Lewis Nitikman, who
is Berkelee trained and has produced 3 gold albums in Canada, plays piano
and bass keyboards.
This will be a truly unique evening of stunning vocals and outstanding piano, It
is a totally live performance, expect to hear all your favourite Elton and
Billy tunes including 'Your Song', 'Piano Man', 'Daniel', 'Uptown Girl', Candle
in the Wind', 'New York State of Mind','Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' etc., but
also some you may not be so familiar with. It's not a tribute, it's a true
celebration of these wonderful tunes.
Tickets: £15, £14
