NYC: LYNN HENDERSON'S "IF WE ONLY HAVE LOVE" CD AVAILABLE

Lynn Henderson's memories as a singer date back to grade school when she wore out a recording of "It's Magic" singing along with Doris Day. Throughout her life, singing has been her passion. From big band vocalist to saloon singer to Handel soloist to cabaret singer, it has all been a joy! The chapters of her life from single New Yorker to wife, mom, equestrienne, businesswoman, divorcee and world traveler all contribute to her selection of songs that speak to me. Life has given Lynn a finer appreciation of great songs and a deeper understanding of what the extraordinary musical poets are telling us. Welcome to Lynn's world!

Lynn's new CD, titled "If We Only Have Love", was released on September 15, 2014. Since enjoying these songs with her audiences and wonderful musicians over the last couple of years at the Metropolitan Room in New York City and all over CT., Lynn has been encouraged to share them with a larger audience.

You can purchase the CD at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/lynnhenderson2

LONDON: KIT AND MCCONNEL - OVER THE YARDARM

Kit and McConnel return to THE CRAZY COQS AT BRASSERIE ZEDEL (20 Sherwood St, Piccadilly, London W1F 7ED - 020 7734 4888) on Sunday, September 20th with OVER THE YARDARM, featuring their unique blend of wit and sophistication. Presenting freshly-baked songs and the heady aroma of topical irreverence, Sunday nights (and Monday mornings) will never feel quite the same again! Never afraid to push the jokes, Kit and McConnel poke fun at everyday events and modern cultural happenings, whilst also including some serious numbers in their act. No two shows for Kit and McConnel are ever the same. After a wealth of experience these two men certainly know how to make an audience crease up with laughter and are a truly enjoyable pair to watch. Kit and James are old friends and collaborators. In 2011 they teamed up to become Kit and McConnel and went on to sell out shows all over the UK.

PLEASE NOTE: Additiional Cabaret Events may be scheduled for this date in this area for which we did not receive complete / appropriate press releases. Check venue websites.
