Former Collabro Star Brings a Touch of Jazz to Farringdon

The Localist, the fashionable new eatery in Farringdon, will be hosting former Collabro star Richard Hadfield later this month in the first of a series of music events that will regularly take place there.

As part of the musical theatre boy band Collabro, Hadfield won Britain’s Got Talent in 2014 and the group enjoyed tremendous success with two top 10 albums and a sell-out world tour. His solo career has also progressed from strength to strength, and he is currently making waves on the London jazz scene.

Also proving a hit is The Localist itself (http://thelocalist.london) - which is no surprise as the restaurant’s head chef is Marco Squillace, formerly of Soho House, Shoreditch and Cipriani. The Localist takes inspiration from European cuisine offering sophisticated Mediterranean dishes and a variety of vegetarian and vegan options.

To accompany an exciting and innovative menu, visitors of The Localist can also enjoy fabulous cocktails served by the ‘Cocktail King’ Luigi Pecararo, in addition to craft beers and wines from an extensive wine list curated by General Manager Fabio D’Anzi.

Richard has prepared a knockout show as he breathes new life into classics by Ella Fitzgerald and Nat King Cole, alongside jazzed up versions of musical theatre scores and recent chart toppers infused with Richard’s individual style.

Richard Hadfield’s performance promises to captivate its audience in a welcoming yet luxurious environment on what will be a summer evening to remember.
