Past Performances
Some Kinda Wonderful - Valentine's Night Special
Back for their 3rd Valentine's Night Special at Monkton Barn, we once again welcomed the brilliant Some Kinda Wonderful - The Music of Stevie Wonder. They truly cannot put a foot wrong - and had even the most reluctant movers up and dancing by the end of the night!
Some Kinda Wonderful - Valentine's Night Special
My Cherie Amour could not be more appropriate for our Valentine's Night Special featuring Some Kinda Wonderful - The Music of Stevie Wonder. Returning for their 3rd performance, they really are a crowd-pleaser with everyone up dancing by the end!
Some Kinda Wonderful
It was a complete joy to welcome this amazing tribute show to the Jazz Experience in February 2020. Featuring an array of Stevie Wonder classics, it will come as no surprise that the audience were up singing and dancing just a few songs in!
