Joe Stilgoe is a serious musician having fun. His parents, both professional musicians, encouraged him to practise and it’s now paying off as he draws comparisons with singer/pianists such as Nat King Cole, Harry Connick Jr, Buddy Greco and Jamie Cullum. His singing, piano playing and sense of humour have made him a regular at the UK’s top jazz clubs including Ronnie Scotts, where he regularly plays with his dynamic trio.

Back by overwhelming demand, Joe returns to the Lyric Hammersmith for his third consecutive year of festivities, with his stupendous band and star guests. For one night only this year, Joe brings you his trademark mix of the old, the new, classics and surprises, all tied up neatly with a bow. Christmas at the Movies is a brand-new show making its premiere at the Lyric, following on from his hugely popular show, Songs on Film.

As a self-confessed film nerd Joe always adds his own original and stylish orchestrations to some of the most memorable moments in movie history. Featuring the greatest Christmas music in film, from It’s a Wonderful Life to White Christmas, Home Alone to Elf, Joe’s eclectic cinematic taste and joyous ease with an audience will have you feeling that gingerbread feeling in no time.
