Heralded by Rolling Stone, The New York Times, Billboard Magazine and NPR’s “Weekend Edition,” Amy Speace was discovered by Judy Collins, who signed her to her record label and has recorded her songs. She’s the 2020 winner of the AMA UK’s International Song of the Year. “The Blue Rock Session,” her 10th solo album, was released in December 2025 and reached #1 immediately on the Folk Radio Charts. It is a truly solo acoustic project Amy recorded in 3 hours at The Blue Rock Studio during a writer’s retreat there.

Imagine Lennon with Tyson Kelly

Boisdale of Canary Wharf · London

'Tyson Kelly brings Lennon back to life in this unique and mesmerising show' - Neil O'Brien Entertainment UK Tyson Kelly grew up in Los Angeles with music in the blood. His father Tom Kelly co-wrote "Like a Virgin" for Madonna and "True Colors" for Cyndi Lauper. Tyson went the other direction entirely, spending fifteen years becoming only the third person ever to play John Lennon in The Bootleg Beatles since the band formed in 1980, then taking the role to Broadway in Let It Be. He has since built his own show around the Lennon solo catalogue and in October 2025 sold out the Tung Auditorium at the Yoko Ono Lennon Centre in Liverpool on what would have been Lennon's 85th birthday. That is either a remarkable coincidence or exactly the right room for the right show. Imagine Lennon runs from "Please Please Me" through the Lennon and McCartney era, into the raw honesty of the Imagine album and all the way to Double Fantasy. The set includes ten years of solo hits alongside B-sides that serious fans will recognise and first-timers will be glad to discover. Tyson brings first-hand stories and insights into the music throughout, which gives the evening a sense of what these songs actually...
