Blue Moon
They can't take that away from me

I fall in love too easily
Someday my prince will come
I hear a rhapsody
How deep is the ocean?
When the saints go marching in
Recordame
Pourquoi Pas Fou?
I get a kick out of you
Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps
The shadow of your smile
It could happen to you
Time remembered
'Round midnight
Somewhere over the rainbow
There will never be another you

In a sentimental mood

Customer questions

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

No problem! Just get in touch with me as soon as possible and I will do my very best to adapt to the new timings!

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually set up about an hour before the performance time to avoid any unecessary stress.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes I do: I have my own instrument to play acoustically and my singing can be amplified or not depending on the demands of the gig!

Jennifer is a luminous singer and musician, striking a perfect balance between emotion and humour. Her multiculturalism (Belgium, France, Egypt & the UK) enables her to adapt to any situation and public. Moreover, she is very sensitive to both her on-stage partners and her public: when she plays and sings, it feels like she does it just for you! In French: ‌Jennifer est une musicienne et une chanteuse lumineuse, sachant manier et doser à la perfection émotion et humour. Son plurilinguisme culturel (Egypte, Belgique, France, Angleterre) lui procure une aisance et une faculté d'adaptation rare; s'ajoute à cela une écoute précieuse et sensible avec ses partenaires mais aussi son public : quand elle joue, chante, elle vous donne l'impression que c'est pour vous seul !

We love having ‘One Voice, One Cello and a Mad Belgian’ playing at Babel for many reasons, but mainly for their characteristic music. Both Jennifer and Rupert are versatile and very talented musicians and playing together, they create something ‘out of this world’. Their synergy and unique style put you through a special gig experience; one that will impress you!
