Barb Jungr’s love songs to celebrate Valentine’s weekend at Norden Farm on February 15

The unmissable Barb Jungr will be coming to Norden Farm this February to sing her favourite love songs.

The team at the Maidenhead-based arts centre say people can join one of the most accomplished British singers of her generation to celebrate Valentine’s this year. Barb sings her favourite love songs from her 20 plus album releases and 40 plus collections.

‘Britain’s finest interpreter of song’ and ‘one of the best cabaret artists in the world’ (Time Out New York), continues her love affair with the work of two of the most important songwriters of the 20th century: Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. Alongside songs from Jacques Brel, Jimmy Webb, The Bee Gees, Neil Diamond and many more.

Who is Barb Jungr?

Barb is one of the most extraordinary British performers of her generation. Her formidable talent as a singer, composer and lyricist is only outshined by her ability to re-interpret familiar songs and reveal new depths of meaning and beauty.

Internationally acclaimed, Barb Jungr continues to evolve her signature style while her transcendent artistry both live and recorded continues to delight audiences.

She brings a mixture of fierce intelligence, deep empathy, amassed wisdom, and outright audacity to everything she touches, whether dissecting Dylan’s almost impenetrable poetry or adapting a beloved children’s picture book for the stage.

Astonishingly, as she sings into her seventies, Barb’s voice is as powerful, nuanced and mesmerising as ever and she brings a physical energy that radiates from the stage, and infuses the audience.

When can I see Barb Jungr at Norden Farm and how much are tickets?

Barb Jungr: My Best Valentine is at Norden Farm Centre for the Arts on Saturday, February 15, at 8pm. Tickets are £22.

They are available from the Box Office on 01628 788997 or online at
