Distinctive singing sensation Randy Crawford is in concert at Fairfield, Croydon on Wednesday, July 17 at 8pm.

Her songs from the eighties are classics, numbers like Street Life, You Might Need Somebody, Rainy Night in Georgia and the amazing One Day I'll Fly away are golden tunes as popular today as decades ago.

Her music combines the deep soul influences of Southern

Rn'B, Gospel and the urban rhythms of the dancefoor, Randy Crawford has fashioned a potent and original musical blend that has made her an international star. Like many American soul singers, Randy began by singing in church in her home town of Cincinnati at the age of 15.

She moved into the club scene and within six years she had established a name for herself. She sang Street Life with the Crusaders and toured with them across Europe.

Her stage manner, stunning beaded hairstyle and unusual voice singled her out for stardom. Join this exceptional talent for an evening of new and old music. Tickets are £34 and £32 from the Fairfield box office on 020 8688 9291.
