Dennis van Aarssen is returning to London! After two sold-out shows last October, the Dutch crooner is coming back to the British capital for two intimate performances. He will take the stage on March 8, 2025, at the renowned Pizza Express Live (Holborn) for an unforgettable evening of jazz.

For this special occasion, Dennis will be joined by jazz legend Jeff Franzel on piano, celebrated for his collaborations with Frank Sinatra, Mel Tormé, and Sammy Davis Jr., and as a co-writer of several of Dennis’s original songs. Completing this exceptional trio will be Richard Frijters on double bass.

The program will feature original songs by Dennis van Aarssen as well as beloved covers of his musical heroes, including Frank Sinatra, Charles Aznavour, and Nat King Cole. The common thread running through his repertoire and personal stories is love: from falling in love to cherishing family and friends, from healing a broken heart to rediscovering hope and finding true love, every aspect of love will be explored. With his show titled “Close To You,” Dennis promises to bring the audience closer than ever and take them on a beautiful journey through life and love.
