/ £14 concs Doors  7.30pm, show 8pm Composer and vocalist Anna Pool celebrates the life and legacy of one of the 20th century’s most distinctive, and too often overlooked, songwriters – Dory Previn. Joined by double bassist Nina Harries and percussionist Calie Hough, Anna traces Dory’s extraordinary journey: from her early success as a lyricist writing for legends such as Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra, to her evolution as a fearless folk solo artist whose deeply personal albums captivated hearts and led her to Carnegie Hall. Raw, comic and yet poetic, Dory’s songs explore everything from Hollywood dreams to devastating psychosis to the almost joyful power of road rage! With bold harmonies, sweeping guitar melodies and biting wit, Anna reimagines this remarkable catalogue, illuminating both the courage and vulnerability that defined Dory’s work. A rare opportunity to experience these songs anew, this powerful performance brings Dory Previn’s legacy out of the shadows and into the light – vibrant, defiant, and unmistakably her own. Anna Pool is a composer and performer working across folk and theatre. Described as “a thing of wonder,” by FATEA, she is ¼ of genre-bending folk quartet, Wise Woman and played with acclaimed ensemble Mediaeval Baebes between 2017-21. Nina Harries is a double bassist and songwriter whose work has toured the world alongside the likes of Anoushka Shankar, Akram Khan and Katie Melua. Calie Hough is both a percussionist and storyteller, regularly playing across the UK theatre scene including Shakespeare’s Globe, RSC and The National Theatre.
