We are 'SMILEY BLUE' a two piece Pop/Rock Duo featuring Lead Vocalist Jenny Alvaro and Lead Guitarist/Lead Vocalist Trev Varri. We were both successful solo performers, when we teamed up in 2011 to form 'SMILEY BLUE'. Whilst engaged in several long and successful residency contracts at some top quality overseas venues, our style of dynamic upbeat Rock/Pop Party favourite's was attracting many fans, so coupled with thoroughly enjoying performing with each other, decided to form a more permanent team. We then went on to complete further contracts at several major 5 Star hotels and clubs, as well as performances at some major International events, and enjoyed being engaged by Emirates Golf Club (Dubai), to perform at their members New Years Eve Party for 7 consecutive years, we also performed for 5 consecutive years for another major golf club at their annual Awards Gala Dinner. Jenny is an attractive, versatile and very talented singer with many years of experience fronting International cover 'Showbands', she has a superb voice, lovely personality and an endearing and fun stage presence, with a vocal range that allows her to deliver terrific versions of songs from a wide range of singing stars, that has ensured her talents are always in demand. Trev is a lead guitarist /lead vocalist with a smooth, dynamic and blues influenced playing style with a powerful and distinctive singing voice. Trev has accrued a wealth of experience in the music business over many years, taking in support tours with several world class bands including, Thin Lizzy, AC/DC and Dr Feelgood, as well as studio album sessions with other well known recording artists, and recently released his debut single which was featured as 'Track of the day' on BBC Radio. Trev also formed the very successful and highly regarded 5 piece 'Mirage International Showband' in the UK, successfully completing many major summer seasons for Butlins and Haven Holidays, as well as many cruises and club tours. Trev also has a zany sense of humour and mischievous on stage personality who quickly and easily connects with any audience. Overall an evening with 'SMILEY BLUE' is sure to be filled with fun and fine music, with music from the 70's, 80's 90's and 00's, but always something for everyone no matter how old.

Another dynamic musical performance from Smiley Blue, entertaining us with rock, pop and power ballads throughout the night. Stunning lead vocals from the amazing Jen, and incredible finger work from the highly talented and energetic lead guitarist Trev. We didn’t want the evening to end - looking forward to their next performance now. Reviewed by: Sue Murray

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

We've had some lovely feedback from our clients, commenting on the quality of our lead vocals, from both Jenny & I, as well as on our stage presence, we also receive some wonderful comments about my lead guitar style & solo playing, which are very humbling & very much appreciated, a bit odd writing this, but these are some the lovely comments we've received.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Burj Al Arab Hotel, Dubai, British Ambassadors residence, Dubai and Abu Dhabi, Emirates Golf Club, Dubai, The Els Golf Club, Dubai, Arabian Ranches Golf Club, Dubai, Abu Dhabi Golf Club, Abu Dhabi, Hilton Hotel, Dubai, many social clubs in the UK, West Kent Golf Club, Orpington, Neville Golf Club, Tunbridge Wells.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

This is a toughie, we have many, but I suppose our main influences which are reflected in our music, would be from Tina Turner, Bonnie Raitt, Shania Twain, Miley Cyrus and Roxette, on Jenny's side and, Bryan Adams, Gary Moore, Fleetwood Mac, Santana, Foreigner and Boston on my side (Trev).

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

We were personally requested by the British Ambassador for the UAE, to perform at the ambassadors residence, at a VIP party held to celebrate his wife's birthday.

Do you have different line-up options?

Our line up is two piece as a boy & girl duo with backing tracks, both singing lead vocals and with lead guitar, we can also both perform solo as an option if required.

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

No problem at all, as long as we can be given as much notice as possible, in case we need to adjust our travel plans etc!

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

Absolutely! and we can also arrange to play your own ipad/ipod music through our system if you wish.

How much time do you need to set up?

We require a minimum of 2 hours to have everything unloaded and set ready to perform, but as soon as our PA is set up, we play recorded music to create a nice welcoming atmosphere for any early arrivals! In the case where our large lighting rig is booked, we need an additional three hours to rig up.

Can you roam around while you perform?

Jenny can certainly roam, as she uses a wireless microphone, but unfortunately I am unable to, as I'm tethered to the stage equipment by my guitar leads etc.

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

Our set list is well crafted and balanced, after years of experience of knowing what works best to create a great atmosphere for all, and to make sure everyone has a super time, but we are always happy to chat about any ideas you have!

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Our top class PA and lighting system is included in your quote, and usually require a minimum area of 4m x 2m to set up and perform.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Absolutely yes! Just let us know as far in advance as possible and we are happy to learn one or two requests for you. We also make an additional charge of £50 per request, to cover backing tracks and rehearsal costs.
