“Her worldview is laconic, her lyrics lacerating, her voice now capable of going deeper than a Chilean miner.”
THE TELEGRAPH
“Keane, whose piano-playing remains as sprightly and inventive as ever, prompts gales of laughter with merely the raising of a quizzical eyebrow.”
THE TIMES
“Exudes faded glamour, a bit like Brighton sea front”

Dillie has teamed up with the legendary Barb Jungr to bring you a Christmas show… mostly made up of Christmas Songs you have never heard of and are never likely to hear again. After trying it out last year, they’re delighted to bring it back to the following venues.
“The wonderful Dillie Keane wears her genius lightly.”
ONSTAGE
“Life, love and the songwriting process are celebrated in this richly layered cabaret.”

In addition, I have been burnishing my credentials as an armchair ecowarrior. As a result of my blog (click on the link to find out more, if you don’t know it already) brought me to the attention of the London South Bank University and I was asked to give the opening Keynote speech at their recent online event on Climate Change and Sustainability. I know some pals had difficulty logging on and have asked me if they can view the speech.

Thanks so much – and stay safe.
Dillie
