A Jane Austen Regency Recital

At the historic Chesil Theatre in Winchester I have written and performed a sell-out evening of Regency song, accompanied on a beautiful period square piano from 1808. Using songs from Jane Austen's personal collection, I explored the fascinating context behind the pieces, offering an insight into what singing such songs could have meant to Austen. Songs were interspersed with historical context and quotes from her letters and novels.

• "You have a wonderful singing voice and it really transported me back to that era, which is a rare treat"
• "We loved the sound of the square piano, and Nicky’s singing interwoven with anecdotes was delightful"
