This 80's pop rock icon Alfie Zappacosta will perform hits from past and present repertoire - a sophisticated blend of pop, rock and jazz elements. With jazz pianist Justin Glibbery on keys the stage is set for an unforgettable evening.

Zappacosta is now in the fifth decade of his career, an artist at the top of his game, as a singer, a songwriter and producer. His rich soaring voice has always been his signature, one that has improved with age, gaining a new degree of resonance evident in his latest recordings.

Zappacosta’s vocal dexterity and song writing proficiency was uncovered by a publisher while writing for his first original band “Surrender, a five-piece group that recorded three albums in the late 1970s into the early 1980s.

Soon after as a solo artist Alfie's career took off with a legacy of hits that brought him to the world's attention. "Start Again”, “Passion”, “When I Fall in Love Again” and “Nothing Can Stand In Your Way” written with David Foster. In 1988 he was awarded JUNOs for “Album of The Year’ and “Most Promising Artist”, and American Music Award for “Most Popular Album of The Year”.

These hit songs were originally written for acoustic and jazz presentations. Writing for radio began to rub against his musical integrity and he became frustrated with the demands of music trends. Alfie broke from the stereotype and began to write the lyrics and melodies that were authentically him, revealing his insight into relationships and his advanced knowledge of music.”
