Holiday Facilitators: Luke Meredith

Luke Meredith, or Mister Meredith, is a cabaret entertainer and compère, and is at the forefront of the revival in piano singalong nights. His singalongs have featured on the BBC, Channel 5 and London Live and, as well as the many live gigs (safety measures permitting), he is now working with Intergenerational Music Making to bring them to the online world. 

His cabaret work has taken him to almost every London venue, including Proud Cabaret, Royal Vauxhall Tavern, Cafe de Paris, Fontaine's and Leicester Square Theatre, and to high profile theatres around the UK from Newcastle Theatre Royal down to Kings Theatre in Portsmouth via Birmingham Old Rep. His solo shows at the Edinburgh Fringe have gathered four and five star reviews, while he continues to pack houses with his variety show Magic Faraway Cabaret, now in its 10th year. 

Luke taught singing at City Lit on the accredited drama courses and the open programme 2009-2018.  He has a BA Hons in Music Drama and Dance from Birmingham University and a PTLLS and CTLLS(1) from City Lit, and continues to research and develop new vocal teaching techniques.
