Caught Gabriella's set last night and was genuinely impressed. Her voice has this warm, inviting quality that makes every song feel intimate, even in a crowded room.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Authentic performance and the ability to speak 4 languages fluently which means I can adapt to the feel and occasion.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Wanderwild Festival, Wakehurst Place (Kew Gardens) London Jazz Festival Goodwood Revival Festival Chat's Palace, London Battersea Band Stand Barking Festival (support for Billy Bragg) Camp Bestival Hootananny, Brixton Greenbelt Festival Windmill, Brixton Red Rooster Festival The Troubadour, Earl's Court The Brunswick, Hove Betsey Trotwood, London

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Anita O'Day, Andrea Motis, Chet Baker, Blossom Dearie, Ella Fitzgerald, Madeleine Peyroux, Diana Krall, Astrud Gilberto and Melody Gardot.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

A 3 day summer festival called Wanderwild Festival, Wakehurst Place which is part of Kew Gardens. Also Goodwood Revival Festival.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We will always try to be flexible.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes of course. This is an 'add-on' at £100 extra.

How much time do you need to set up?

Up to 2 hours depending on the size of the event and if a sound engineer is needed. Larger events will benefit from a sound engineer; this will be an additional cost and always worthwhile for the larger events. Reduces a lot of stress for hosts and musicians.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

We have some flexibility however often the choice of songs are about the moment and based on how the guests are responding. Live curation is part of what we do.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

There is an additional fee of £45 for any song not on the list. This is to account for the time it takes to learn new material and gather relevant charts.
