Mark Robert Petty presents
Sir John Betjeman’s Banana Blush
Starring Zeb Soanes and the Chris Warner Ensemble
A sparkling celebration of poetry, music and quintessential British eccentricity, featuring acclaimed broadcaster Zeb Soanes (Classic FM) and the Chris Warner Ensemble.
In 1974, Sir John Betjeman became an unlikely pop star when his much-loved poetry was set to music by Jim Parker for the cult album Betjeman’s Banana Blush.
Now, Betjeman’s wit, warmth and wonderfully eccentric observations on British life are brought to the stage in a delightful journey from 1920s cocktail lounge to village bandstand, featuring Jim Parker’s original music, lovingly recreated for live performance.
