Kitty's voice is amazing. If you think her recordings are good, wait until you see her live. Fabulous voice, amazing range, lovely person!

We were thrilled to have been able to secure The Kitty Whitelaw Trio for our wedding in October 2018. Kitty’s selection of songs perfectly suited the occasion and were delivered with assurance, warmth, and of course, lovely vocals. She and her band were a joy – and they looked stunning too!
