Philip Clouts was born in South Africa and brought to Britain as a baby. His father, the poet Sydney Clouts, was a great fan of South African music and throughout Philip’s childhood the house resounded to the strains of Hugh Masekela, Miriam Makeba and township jazz. It was the pianists who particularly caught Philip’s ear, especially Abdullah Ibrahim and Chris McGregor, and that’s where it all started.

Join us for the first Jazz at the Vic of 2023, featuring sensational vocalist Rebecca Askew.

Jazz is Rebecca's first love, having grown up singing along with Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra and Carmen McRae from her dad's record collection. Later, she studied it more formally with Mark Bassey at the City Lit College and Scott Stroman and Peter Churchill at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where she also had the honour of touring with Kenny Wheeler.

Rebecca loves singing the old tunes from the great American songbook and continues to explore the rich and varied repertoire of her musical tradition.
