Returning with Cleveland Watkiss

As part of his 50^th birthday celebrations, jazz vocalist Cleveland Watkiss returns to Rushmore Primary School in Hackney, where he was once a student. The school and its teachers were influential in developing his love of music and choice of career, leading him to his current place as one of most highly regarded vocalists in the UK and on the international jazz scene.

As a thank you to the school, Cleveland will be running vocal workshops with some of its pupils, who will join him as part of his Queen Elizabeth Hall performance on Thursday 19 November. Click here for more details about the event.
