Highlights

Exceptional, expressive and warm jazz vocal.
Professional performance from a band that are truly passionate about their music.
Entertaining, engaging and varied repertoire.

Act profile

Skyblue Jazz and Swing are a relaxed, easy listening, jazz quintet comprising of female vocalist and rhythm section of piano, guitar, bass and drums. We have a wide repertoire which covers swing, blues, latin, genres and includes renditions of the greats from the 20’s up to the more "modern" and famous standards of the 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s. Whatever the era, the band specialise in playing popular melodic tunes that are all time favourites.

The band are devoted to their music and met several years ago whilst studying jazz at Goldsmiths University of London. The band delivers professional vocals backed by a strong rhythm section and would appeal to the mature audience or those who require a more relaxed lounge jazz event. With a noise level that does not inhibit your guests’ conversation the band can provide background music during a reception or meal. We are definitely not a pop group. The band can dress formally or informally to suit the occasion.

Testimonials

Heard this band more than once and they are a fantastic group of musicians., with a repertoire catering for all age groups and a lead singer with a voice you never forgets.

-Abdul and Lorraine


I have seen this band on a number of occasions and think they're great.

This band has performed at our club on two separate occasions over the last six months. The first, was to provide background music whilst members and guests enjoyed a summer barbecue and the second, a more formal evening of jazz, swing and bossa nova standards. Each occasion has proven to be a huge success and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
They are all dedicated musicians who clearly love what they do and have demonstrated flexibility and professionalism in each performance they have been requested to deliver for our members. As a result we hope it will be possible to negotiate more regular events in the future

-North Middlesex Golf Club – March 2012


Hi Garry,
Thank you so much to you and the band for playing at our daughter Beth’s party last night. I appreciated you trying new music at our request. Nichola’s voice is beautiful. The music was wonderful and so many of our guests complemented you. The great thing was that your music was liked by both young and old. A great job and thanks so much.
We plan to have a summer party in the future and would definitely like you to play for us at that.
