Jessie Buckley in cabaret at Pheasantry

The initial line up of performers to appear at Pheasantry, a new cabaret venue at 152 King’s Road in Chelsea, has just been announced.

The Pheasantry will host Live At The Pheasantry, a cabaret season which will feature acts previously booked at Pizza on the Park. Organisers of the event hope that it will become a permanent fixture.The move comes in response to the impending closure of Pizza on the Park on June 18th.

It has been a jazz and cabaret venue for nearly 30 years and the owners of the building are planning to turn venue into a boutique hotel.

The Pheasantry’s season will commence on June 13 with performances by Jessie Buckley, who is best known for her appearance on BBC1’s I’d Do Anything and who previously performed at Pizza on the Park.

Jessie Buckley will open the venue on 13th June and other performers who are scheduled to appear over the summer include Michael Peavoy (June 27th), Cassidy Janson (July 11th), Kelly Price (July 18th), and Shona White (July 25th).

As well as one night cabaret performers, Pheasantry will also present Claire Martin and Richard Rodney Bennett from 1st-3rd July and the revue Simon Green: Travelling Light will be on from July 22nd-24th.

Jessie Buckley is also appearing in cabaret at the Delfont Room, Prince of Wales Theatre on Saturday 31st July.
