The Unlockdown Sessions Live with Jonathan Veira
Location: Beath and Cowdenbeath North Church, Lochgelly Rd, Cowdenbeath KY4 9HD
You can expect a stunning evening of music and laughter. Jonathan is
essentially a musical chameleon - performing songs of great diversity to an
incredibly high standard – which quite possibly makes him unique in the world
of entertainment. With a voice like melted chocolate, he sings everything from
gospel songs to Billy Joel and everything in-between – nothing seems too
hard for him! Ballads, blues, rock n roll, jazz and even opera – everything
sounds completely authentic and exhilarating. Accompanying himself with
amazing dexterity, his glorious singing frequently moves people to tears and
then they later find themselves weeping with laughter!
When did you last see young and old rocking with laughter together?
Jonathan Veira’s one-man show is distinctive because you get so much more than just ‘the voice’. He is a superb comic raconteur, who’s anecdotal story-
telling has people of all generations laughing helplessly. A naturally funny man, Jonathan’s infectious humour draws you in to his joyful presence. He shares of himself and his faith naturally and inspirationally – before long he
feels like a good friend.
When the Lockdown occurred, Jonathan was obviously unable to do live
concerts. Undeterred, he started an online streamed concert that still goes live
nearly every Sunday evening for two hours. This highly entertaining show has
become much more than ‘just a concert’. Jonathan’s wonderful singing and
piano playing, cheerful chat and banter with his wife Sue, guests on Zoom or
in the room have made this compulsive viewing for so many and JV Live from
the Steinway Room has kept many people connected and sane during the
Lockdown period and beyond. Winning a BBC award for the show has been a
well-deserved bonus. These concerts are now Jonathan doing what he does
best in an Unlockdown situation!
Jonathan is still a regular on various radio programmes. He has recorded
numerous CDs and television programmes in many genres -including light
entertainment and religious broadcasting, particularly with Songs of Praise.
Tracks from his CDs are often featured on radio programmes across the
globe.
Jonathan is absolutely delighted to be out on the road again and entertaining
people once again. He is delighted to be coming to Cowdenbeath to meet you
all.
