<\/a>The UK\u2019s finest interpreter of song, Barb Jungr returns to the songs of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen with the release of her album \u2018Hard Rain\u2019 on 24th March. Barb has also taken this wonderful new collection of material on the road, including a date at the Newtownabbey\u2019s Theatre at the Mill on Thursday 1st May. Barb premiered the set at London\u2019s Purcell Room on Friday 14th February to much critical acclaim.<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026a four star show\u2026The most literate of singers, Jungr is the perfect interpreter of this kind of material.\u201d (The Times, February 2014)<\/p>\n
Barb has recently completed another triumphant run of shows in the U.S.A. Over the past few years the British chanteuse has been wowing critics and audiences alike at home and abroad with her insightful, intelligent interpretations of well-loved songs combined with her powerful and often witty performance style. Barb\u2019s shows in NYC have now reached legendary status, with her latest season there last December completely selling out \u2013 don\u2019t miss one of Britain\u2019s best kept secrets live on her home turf.<\/p>\n
Often referred to as \u201cthe politicised chansonnier\u201d and cited as one of the world\u2019s best performers of Dylan\u2019s material, Barb turns to six of his most politically hard-hitting songs along with five of Leonard Cohen\u2019s most impassioned songs of conscience. Barb\u2019s selection for Hard Rain reflects her despair with the political times that we live in and she has deliberately chosen songs that resonate as strongly today as they did when they were originally written: Blowin\u2019 In The Wind is now 51 years old and its sentiments are as relevant today as they ever were.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 2002, the British singer Barb Jungr released \u201cBarb Jungr Sings Bob Dylan: Every Grain of Sand\u201d, which is, as far as I\u2019m concerned, the most significant vocal album of the 21st century thus far.\u201d\u00a0 (The Wall Street Journal, 2011)<\/p>\n
\u201cThe only word to describe her dramatic interpretations is revelatory\u2026..I was open mouthed with astonishment.\u201d\u00a0 (New York Times, December 2013)<\/p>\n
