BREAKING GLASS LIVE / GREATEST HITS Tour
“It's all there, that voice, soaring sax, layered drums and textured guitar riffs...timeless...”

In this special show, award winning singer-songwriter Hazel O'Connor and band are back with their hugely popular Breaking Glass Live/ Greatest Hits show. Catch all the hits and songs from the iconic film in addition to subsequent chart singles live. Melding Hazel's superb vocals with guitar, bass, drums and featuring celebrated saxophonist Clare Hirst (Bellestars, Communards, Bowie ) and the wonderful Sarah Fisher (Eurythmics)on keyboards. Unmissable!

Hazel O'Connor with her sultry vocals is no stranger to the live scene. Striding into the spotlight, with her lead role in Dodi Fayed's cult movie Breaking Glass in 1980, Hazel immediately became an iconic figure as well as a BAFTA nominated actress. There were hits and eye-catching Top of The Pops appearances aplenty along the way. Hazel's ageless songs include Eighth Day, Will You, Big Brother, Monsters in Disguise, Calls The Tune, If Only, Give Me An Inch , Blackman, Hanging Around and That's Life, all of which seem even more relevant in our present times.

The year was 1980. The UK slid into recession and inflation stood at 18 per cent. Amid the doom and gloom - a film that captured the era precisely and made an unknown singer-songwriter from Coventry into a star. Andy Bevan - Central Television (ITV)
