Denver's Reviews

5 out of 5

Denver was delightful and a pleasure to work with, everyone loved her performance.

Denver is a consummate professional who not only excels as a performer and bandleader but as a musician in general. Denver's sublime tone, deft melodic phrasing and tasteful approach make her the perfect centerpiece in a contemporary ensemble and one with whom performing is an absolute pleasure.

Denver is passionate about great music, and her determination to succeed is fuelled by a desire to conquer any challenge. Singers can often be overlooked when it comes to jazz education, and this can be due to the lack of functional harmonic understanding or poor knowledge of language for improvising. Denver, however, strives to shatter these preconceptions, with passion and diligence.

Customer questions

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

I will always try my best to be flexible so if timings do change a little, prior to your event, just let me know.

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

Of course. If you have a playlist or genre in mind, I'd be happy to play it on my P.A between sets!

How much time do you need to set up?

This depends on the gig but we usually aim for at least an hour to set up.

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

Our set lists are carefully curated based on our repertoire and what has gone down well in the past. However, we're more than happy to discuss anything you think would make your event extra special!

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I do! If this is an amplified performance, I can provide a P.A.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't included in our set list, there's a chance we'll already know it, but we do charge a fee of £30 for this service to account for rehearsal times.
