Tart Goes East
Tart is branching out this summer with a special musical performance… Take note – it’s on a different night of the week and in a different venue!
Come and join us as we take over the Vortex Jazz club in uber-cool Dalston on Monday 20th June for one night only to launch the UK career of the fabulous Newfoundlander singer/songwriter Dana Parsons.
Discovered by Ruth on a visit to the wilds of Newfoundland, Dana sings jazz with her own combo the Moonglow Trio and high energy pop/rock with the Dana Parsons Project. Winner of CBC’s Galaxie Rising Star award in 2007, Dana’s first album of original songs, It’s You, not Me, was also nominated for five music industry awards.
An accomplished cabaret performer, writing and starring in her own show Oh Canada, Not Just Beavers, Dana is touring this year with Women Doing Men, a revue of women singers performing songs normally sung by men.
For her UK debut, Dana has devised a very personal show just for us, celebrating the major musical influences in her life from Joni Mitchell to Judy Garland and featuring material from her forthcoming new album.
Come and join in the happening East End for a night of fantastic music. The doors open at 8pm, and the performance starts at the earlier time of 8.30pm. Latecomers will have to stand, so please arrive early if you want a seat.
As our regular Tartlets know, our salons always sell out, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
Mwah!

Jackie Kay at Tart 29th January 2011
Tart started the new year with a super-sell-out audience with the luminous Jackie Kay.
Everyone’s favourite author, Jackie Kay, MBE, has been winning prizes ever since she published her first book of poems The Adoption Papers in 1991 to wide renown, following with equally acclaimed poetry collections that include Other Lovers, Off Colour , and Darling . Jackie’s first novel, Trumpet, in 1998 brought new prose fans, kept happy with short story selections and, most recently, delighted with Red Dust Road, her memoir about meeting her Nigerian birth father.
After a wonderful reading of her work, Jackie’s stellar performance continued in discussion with Tart hostess Reina Lewis, before moving on to take the many questions of our enthusiastic audience.
Tart: Question the Panel Saturday 14th November 2009
Well, it had to happen… after years of shouting at the radio and the telly, Reina finally got to be in the hot seat with her own Tart panel of four of Britain’s most outspoken women:
- Shami Chakrabarti, CBE, Director of Liberty, the National Council for Civil Liberties.
- Linda Bellos, OBE, long time feminist and lesbian activist, leader of Lambeth Council in 1986, and consultant on diversity and equality.
- Professor Lynne Segal, irrepressible feminist campaigner and commentator on sexuality, gender, and family.
- Jude Kelly, OBE, Artistic Director of Southbank Centre, and Chair of Culture, Ceremonies and Education at the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games
Faced with this dream team, our Tart audience did us proud with provocative .jpg)
questions on everything from the Olympics and urban regeneration to DNA databases. Our panel were formidable, and our audience did them proud – discussion was focused, fiery, and feminist. The only downside was that we ran out of time – so apologies to those of you who sent questions that we couldn’t fit in. We promise to do it again before too long.
