About Nancy

Jessica Rabbit style Jazz singer based in Brighton.
Singer
Brighton and Hove
Public liability insurance of £10 million

I am Nancy, a Jazz singer based in Brighton (UK). From musicals, to performing at venues such as The Royal Albert Hall, Birmingham Symphony Hall, Chichester Festival Theatre, Worthing Pavilion Theatre and Concorde 2, it's fair to say I have dedicated my life to music. My journey began at a young age; as a child I was classically trained, which led to my involvement in musicals and production shows. I later studied contemporary music styles at The British Institute of Modern Music. ​ It was there that my passion for Jazz flourished. I realised how performing old classics can capture a heart, and how the likes of Nina Simone and Ella Fitzgerald can get anyone out of their seat and swinging. There's nothing better than singing along with the songs of your youth, and sharing that magic with loved ones on your special day.

Nancy was our house entertainer and she never failed to hit just the right note, excellent presentation and she knew just what songs the audience wanted. So many positive comments when Nancy would perform.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Guests are often very fond of the songs from my 'Jazz takes on modern classics' setlist. I really enjoy seeing peoples faces light up when they realise what song it is I'm singing. But most commonly guests appreciate how emotive the performance can be, they feel a sense of nostalgia that you just can't get from anything but a good song.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Bar Valentino (Brighton) Finolhu (Maldives) Bootlegger (Brighton) Hotel Du Vin (Brighton) Concorde 2 (Brighton)

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

-Ella Fitzgerald -Nina Simone -Patsy Cline -Etta James

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

I will always try my best to be flexible so together we can achieve the perfect event. Just let me know as soon as possible if timings change and I will see what I can do.

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

I can provide background music that matches the theme of my songs in-between sets so everything runs smoothly. Just let me know if this is something you are interested in and it can certainly be arranged.

How much time do you need to set up?

I typically like an hour to set up, sound check etc. Depending on the venue. Once soundcheck has finished I can provide background music that matches the theme of my songs, if this is something you would like, just let me know.

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

Absolutely, create your dream setlist and choose exactly which songs you would like from my repertoire.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, although power will need to be accessible.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

I don't usually take requests (just to ensure every song is rehearsed and perfected!) however if there is a particular song you would love to hear that isn't featured on my setlist, just let me know and I'll see what I can do.
