When Becc Sanderson steps in front of the microphone adorned in a silver sheath dress and a black feathered cape that might be cut from the cloth of Maleficent’s wings she immediately captivates her audience with a show that is the hidden gem of the Fringe Festival.
Performing a range of material that takes the audience on an autobiographical journey; Sanderson runs the gamut from interpreting standards like ‘Cry Me a River’ to paying tribute to iconic tracks by David Bowie, Kate Bush and Kylie Minogue.
Interspersing classics with her own original material and backed by a finely tuned band that keep pace with her impressive vocal skills as well as her endearingly self-deprecating sense of humour.
In her own words Sanderson says. “I hope the audience will laugh, cry and leave with joy in their hearts”.
If that is her mission, consider it accomplished.

Thanks Becc for a great show! All night I had in my mind my Sweet Blue Midnights CD cover and had to find it immediately I got home.
