Ty Jeffries is hosting an intimate, simple, candlelit supper performance in January to raise funds for the Ledward Centre as part of their Crowdfunder Campaign to finish the final fit out of the 7,000 sq ft LGBTQ+ community and cultural centre in central Brighton. The show is preceded by Supper, and is on Saturday, January 13.
Each of the 50 tickets is available for a £25 donation to the Crowdfunder campaign, and each donation will release a further £75 in matchfunding from the Cost of Living Resilience Fund. Your £25 donation gets you a ticket to this special performance, AND is worth £100 in total to the Ledward Centre. (*See below for how to donate and claim your tickets(s))
With a 12 year West End residency at the glamorous Crazy Coqs Cabaret behind him, emerging from the statuesque shadow of his legendary tragi-comic cabaret creation, Miss Hope Springs, the award-winning composer and lyricist, appears simply as himself.
A long time resident of coastal East Sussex, Ty grew up between Hollywood and Pinewood when his father, Lionel Jeffries, was making movies like Camelot and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Educated at the prestigious Purcell School of Music in the 1970s, Ty was taught his first jazz piano chords by Sir John Mills and was further encouraged by screen composer Elmer Bernstein. In the 1980s, he was mentored by Vangelis and was signed to Elton John’s Rocket Music.
He also worked with Chaka Kahn and was a keyboard player for Billy Mackenzie’s The Associates. Years later, Jeffries’ alter-ego opened the newly constructed Crazy Coqs, and he remains their longest-standing resident artist. More recently, his songs have been covered by Joe Stilgoe, Claire Martin and New York cabaret legend Sidney Myer.
Ty will be performing some of his acclaimed original songs and a couple of his evocative solo piano pieces and, for the first time, taking your questions…
