Following her sold out performances at The Pheasantry earlier this year, award-winning singer and musical theatre star Patti Boulaye brings to the Crazy Coqs, her wonderful, moving one-woman show 'Billie and Me,' in which she discusses the parallels of her life and career with that of the great singer Billie Holiday on Friday September 29. The late Billie Holiday's life, songs and cause of her death, made a strong impact on modern day performers like Patti and it was many of Holiday's songs and performances that increased Patti's love of jazz music. In 'Billie & Me', Patti performs some of her favourite and well -known songs of Holiday's such as That Ole Devil Called Love, Nice Work If You Can Get It, Lover Man, God Bless the Child and many more

Recently Patti took a journey of a lifetime for the BBC travel documentary series 'The Real Marigold Hotel'. In Autumn she will be appearing as a contestant in the latest series of BBC's very popular Master Chef and later in an episode of BBC One's Money For Nothing.

This year Patti published her remarkable and moving autobiography 'The Faith of A Child' that charts her riveting life story through wealth, poverty and civil war, to show-business stardom and success in Britain and her birth country Nigeria. 2017 also marks the 46th Anniversary of Patti's West End debut in the musical Hair. The show changed the course of Patti's life, when at the age of 17s she joined the cast after arriving in London from Nigeria in the early 70's. There will be a revival of the show in October in London to celebrate this landmark anniversary.

Patti who came to prominence as a singer winning the British ITV talent show New Faces, where she made history by becoming the only contestant ever to receive the maximum 120 points was awarded an OBE for her charity work in the UK and Sub- Saharan Africa in 2016
