"Peter Straker has been at the forefront of the British music and theatre scene for decades, from his collaborations with Freddie Mercury to starring in the West End in shows like Hair, The Who’s Tommy, Ken Hill’s Original Phantom of the Opera, Blues in the Night, and many more. Now, after years of successful collaborations, the Award-winning Straker presents his homage to the brilliant Belgian Songwriter Jacques Brel. Many great artists have sung Brel but none with the passion of Straker, whose interpretations of Jacky, Amsterdam, If you go away, are simply outstanding. The ultimate tribute to Brel by the ultimate showman Straker."
