Live: Dionne Warwick @ The Glasshouse, Gateshead
The Glasshouse International Centre For Music - Gateshead
In the 62 years that have passed since she debuted with the Burt Bacharach and Hal David penned 'Don't Make Me Over' it's safe to say that Dionne Warwick has had a career to remember. Tonight it is those memories which take centre-stage. The show, (billed as a conversation rather than a concert) features Warwick and film director Dave Wooley discussing the many facets of her life and career, interspersed with clips from Wooley's recent documentary, as well as performances showcasing the musical highlights of the 83 year old's varied career.
