Verified profile

Billie & Burnheart met on the jazz course at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 2013. They started their duo in their third year of study and the collaboration continues to develop and grow in personality. The duo works in an intimate setting as well as an eye catcher at a busier event. Billie’s classic soulful voice floats and combines with the layers of the violin which is then embellished with percussion and backing vocals. Billie can be found regularly singing at the Ned, the Mayfair, Park Chinois and many other high end London clubs and restaurants in different formations as she is one of London's top jazz singers. Johanna Burnheart is more active in the crossover new jazz scene and can be found playing with different bands and DJs all over London's jazz clubs and Europewide. As Billie & Burnheart are core musicians of the London jazz scene, they have many other musicians on the books to join if the event in question is looking for a bigger sound. Most prominently the double bass suits the sound very well but guitar, piano and or drums are also very easily added to the lineup. Please note, Burnheart used to collaborate with another fabulous singer called Appolonie who can be heard on the promo material. Appolonie has sadly left London so Billie is the current lead singer.

We can easily add double bass, drums, keys to our lineup as well as percussion.

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

That is no problem - if there is a significant change we'll have to adapt the fee of course but sometimes plans change and we're always happy to accommodate changes within reason. Never hesitate to get in touch if there are any issues or changes!

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

We can provide a playlist for before and inbetween the sets but we are not able to bring our own PA for this.

How much time do you need to set up?

Ideally 40 minutes but we can do a rushed job in 25 minutes.

Can you roam around while you perform?

Not with our electronic setup sadly.

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

We're happy to chat through any set list wishes you may have and will accommodate as best as we can if you would like any changes made to our usual set list.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

We don't provide lighting or a PA.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes we can but it may result in a slightly higher fee due to extra rehearsal time.
