Life after Loss: The Late Great Johnny Ace

Organised by AGL & The Alchemists

Tuesday 5th November, 7:30 - 9:30pm

The Voodoo Rooms, 19a West Register Street Edinburgh EH2 2AA

This event is open to the public. It is free but ticketed.

Everyone responds to deep loss in their own way. When Annie lost Johnny – the love of her life – to cancer, she got a band together and began to write & play songs about him, about the life they shared together, and to explore, through music, her experience of grief.

In this show, Annie & her band will take you on a journey through love, loss, sorrow, joy & hope, playing a mix of funk, soul & rock cover versions, as well as original material. Of course, there will be some tender moments. But overall, this is an evening that’s upbeat, uplifting & celebratory.

“An amazing, joyous, life enhancing evening”

“One of the most magical evenings, filled with love”

“What a voice, what a band. Heart & soul in every moment”

“Heartfelt and heartwarming”

There is no charge for tickets, however if you enjoy the show, and can afford to do so, please consider making a donation to Marie Curie, who will have staff on hand at the end of the evening. Thank you.

This show is pleased to be part of the “To Absent Friends“ festival of storytelling and remembrance.

Book your free tickets on Eventbrite.
