Verified profile

Classically trained, I have been performing since I was a young girl. I love singing and performing and you cant help but be captured by that when I am doing 'my thing'. I fly solo as Gemma Ruby; a unique solo vocalist performing favourites from the 1920's & 30's, 1940's & 50's to include Modern- Vintage, Jazz, Swing and Rat Pack classics, with professionalism and flair and always in appropriate costume. I also cover the 70's to the present day in what I consider to be more modern pop party sets. I am equally at home on stage in a theatre or at a festival, as I am in hotels, clubs, private residences or country gardens. You get the idea :) Whatever event you are planning, whatever the occasion, whether a wedding, birthday, charity event or just an excuse for a good old jolly, I will tailor my sets to suit your exact requirements.

Huge thanks to you and The Hummingbirds for Lifting the music stage at Okehampton Show to a new level yesterday. It was a great set and the sound out front couldn't have been any better.
