Randy Newman

This is the only London performance by acclaimed American singer-songwriter Randy Newman during his 2012 tour of Europe.

Described by the Observer as ‘The first, and perhaps the best, of modern pop’s great storytellers,’ Newman has spent his career writing albums, songs and film scores. A pianist, composer and lyricist, Newman’s work has been recorded by artists including Judy Collins, Dusty Springfield, Peggy Lee, Harry Nilsson, and Joe Cocker, among others.

He has written award-winning music and songs for films including Toy Story, James and the Giant Peach, and A Bug’s Life.

This tour coincides with the recent release of the CD/DVD album package Randy Newman: Live in London, and follows the second volume in The Randy Newman Songbook series, in which Newman takes a fresh look at his work in new solo recordings. The Daily Telegraph called that album ‘An invigorating celebration of the joys of great songwriting and proof of the power of one man and his piano.’
