'The Seediness of New York' - with Richard Skipper
Manage episode 431573995 series 2955439
If you were trying to seduce someone in the audience when you were performing at a piano bar or at karaoke... what song would you sing?
I imagine you'd go for something slinky and sexy, right? Or maybe something bombastic and exuding confidence?
Well, not, it turns out, if you are this week's guest, the singer and story teller Richard Skipper, who went a decidedly different route...
But, I'm going to leave that mystery hanging, and you can find out what his go-to song was when you listen to the episode.
This week we caught up to talk about the Five Oaks, a piano bar in New York City.
Richard shares memories of the vibrant community that existed there in the 1980s and 1990s, as well as how the AIDS crisis and a serial killer tragically impacted the scene.
London folks! Richard has a show at Crazy Coqs on August 5th 2024. In it he will be celebrating the 60th anniversary of the stage show Hello Dolly, performing all of the hits and reflecting on the legacy of this iconic Broadway musical. More details can be found on the Crazy Coqs website.
