ACCLAIMED US jazz singer Stacey Kent has launched her new CD, entitled Dreamsville, on Candid Records.

A regular visitor to the area, Stacey has played at the Huntingdon Hall, Ledbury Poetry Festival last year and more recently at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival.

Her new record is a collection of some of the greatest ballads from the Great American Songbook and was chosen by her fans.

It includes such classics as Little Girl Blue, Thanks for the Memory and Hushabye Mountain, all chosen from the hundreds of requests that Stacey receives each week.
