From GLAM to ROCK

 

Back on a London stage tonight with some of my favourite people and musicians who I play with in Ollie Forrest's band. (We also played together in Roxy music). We had a little bit more time to jam in rehearsals yesterday and I love this Gibson. It changed the shape of my brain a bit...

A weighty joy! But am sticking to singing and keyboards for this one. We're at the Macbeth in Shoreditch Wednesday 22 May. Great tunes, see you there x

Thanks to drummer Emily Dolan-Davies for these pics. Check her website HERE 

Southampton FC @ The Four Seasons

Myself and an ACE Kitt's project band/singer line-up played at the End of Season party for some very shiny, happy Southampton footballers and their families at the Four Seasons Hotel last weekend. (Unidentifiable veg made for an intriguing but very delicious dinner.) A beautiful affair x

Oracle Retail Week Awards, Grosvenor House Hotel

Last weekend I found myself back in the Ballroom of the Grosvenor House Hotel, this time performing with the brilliant Kitts Project for the prestigious annual Oracle Retail Week Awards. Sir Philip Green and Simon Cowell were amongst the attendees, who took to the dance floor to our upbeat set after receiving their awards. A sparkling night.

Chris, Jade, Vula, Brendan and everyone helped make it fabulous. Good times x

Happy International Women's Day

I know some INCREDIBLE women. Thank you, and kudos to you all x

Summertime

...I'm looking forward to it.

I'm sure it'll be nothing like this, but one can dream!

This is nothing like my new music. But I'm posting this song to will the summer along. I'm feeling the need for a new season, at least. Hope you enjoy my cover rendition of this jazzing Gershwin epic.

Triumphant Gig With Ollie

It's sincerely a CHALLENGE to perform on the same stage as Ollie Forrest; with his distractingly epic guitar playing, and equally massive songs, it's easy to just listen. But thankfully I managed it last night. If his music is not proof enough of his boldness, he let me loose on the keyboards for the first time in forever. And I had one of the best times on stage I've had for a while.

Monstress drummer Emily Dolan-Davis and brilliant bass player Philippe De Hovre held the groove down at The Metal Works in Angel, where a good time was had by all. 

CATCH HIM EARLY!

I need a Juno.

Ollie Forrest, Metalworks Islington

I've been working with this artist who is also an incredible guitarist. Ollie Forrest has written some epically good songs and we're playing them tonight in Islington.

Flyer.

 I'll be on vocals and keyboards for this one. Come and see us!

The Change, The Wait

Many changes are occurring and I can't wait to share them! I've been working on some new music, including in the studio with Boglewaltz guys in East London and it's sounding super. You'll hear the evolution of my style/tastes from the last couple of years. But I must have a little more patience as I have another 2 weeks of groundwork and other 'necessary' tasks, then a UK tour with an opera singer to complete! After that, I'm all yours!

Jamie Cullum - BBC Maida Vale

What a year 2012 shaped up to be. One of the most challenging yet! But it was still filled with many great experiences and ended with a bang. This included a live show in Dubai and this little nugget... Have a listen to the session I did down at the historic Maida Vale BBC studios, with Bryan Ferry's Jazz Age orchestra for Jamie Cullum on BBC Radio 2.

Up for 5 more days!

Bryan Ferry Jazz Age Launch, Annabels London

I wasnt expecting to be back at Annabels so soon for another show without my trio, but I returned last night, this time appearing with Bryan Ferry for the launch of his new instrumental album The Jazz Age.

Needless to say, a star-studded affair. But better than that, a great atmosphere, as always, The BF Orchestra went down a storm. I had fun and dressed all 20's-like! Wore an this beautiful but heavy sparkling corset, silk to-the-floor skirt, and an amazing original Schiaparelli hat.

Very girly! A great for the night, uber glam and princessy! Thanks to Aaron Walker and Lizzy at Mishka Vintage x

Contrary to Popular Belief...
