I am a singer with a very diverse repertoire. I am really fortunate to collaborate with some really great , professional musicians whom have impressive CVs and career histories. Together we create some of the very best live music which is available on the scene at the moment. I have never been one to be set in stone with one genre and have always been open to new and varied ideas. Hence why I have created a collection of musical outfits to cater to different client tastes and preferences. Below are the bands and music combos which I am currently involved with. Best of British Rock. Jump Swing Rhythm and Blues. American jazz/ swing classics. The Green Banana Blues Collective is a well establish Jump blues outfit spawned from the renowned Jump 66. Whilst being a founding member of Jump66 career highlights playing at Glastonbury, we regularly performing including headlining at The Ealing Blues festival. Supporting the legacy of the British Blues scene which emerged in the 60s with performances at the Crawdaddy club and the Ealing Red Rooms.
