Ms Holiday is a highly experienced Jazz & Swing singer based in the heart of Kent. Her latest album, released in 2021, reached no.6 in the iTunes Jazz Charts! She was also voted Best Live Stream Performance for the whole of the UK during the 2020 pandemic.
Ms Holiday is an esteemed performer on the Vintage circuit having begun performing this style of music from a very young age. After studying Musical Theatre first at Northbrook College and then at The American Musical Theatre Academy in London, a degree that she feels gives her the pizzazz to her performances, Ms Holiday was offered a contract on board Aida Cruises. After a couple of years with the company she returned to dry land and her act went from strength to strength, dedicating her career to the music from the 1920's to the 2020's, but always performing with her retro flare! She's been lucky enough to perform at notable events and venues across the country including The War & Peace Revival, The Twinwood Festival, Cahoots, Mr Fogg's, Saga Cruises and for The Belmond British Pullman.
Ms Holiday is a fantastic stand alone singer but can also add a Jazz Guitarist to her act for that extra ambience! She can tailor her sets to your needs for Weddings, Birthday Parties, Vintage Festivals, Bars & Restaurants and Care Home Performances. Or she can create era specific and themed sets such as Gatsby, Wartime, 50's & 60's, Halloween, Christmas and much more. The list is endless!

Yes, I am completely self contained. I bring my own PA system to all of my gigs.
I need to know any useful directions that will help me find the venue and where to unload my equipment. Please provide information on parking, ideally reserve a parking space if parking is limited.
I'm happy to play music before and between my sets.
I performed at The Shard in London for a Christmas Party! It was so festive and what a fabulous location looking out over the whole of London!
So many to choose from! But my top artists are Ella Fitzgerald, Norah Jones, Postmodern Jukebox , Hayley Reinhart, Tina Turner and sooo many more. I love incorporating all the old hollywood classics into my set but also modern songs that have either been stripped back to an acoustic level, or changed up into a retro version!
My first contract out of college was Lead Vocalist as part of a show team on board Aida Cruises! Once I returned to dry land I started my solo singing career performing at many vintage festivals across the country, and then ventured into the world of weddings (which I love) and serenading many a bar & restaurant!
I love a wedding! Just the pure joy of seeing happy couples tie the knot and accompanying their special day with their favourite music choices.
I normally arrive at least 1 hour before a performance to set up, but it takes me no more than 30 min to do this. The most common set length I get booked for is 2 x 45 min sets. Of course I am happy to play for longer or shorten the time down, but this is what usually works best for an audience.
Yes, more than happy to perform outside but do ask for a shaded area and a flat surface.
For weddings I am more than happy to have an in depth conversation about your song choices, especially for your ceremony, and I love to learn special requests. For Parties I'm happy to take requests and influence my sets around artists you like. And for Bars & Restaurants I usually create the set lists myself.
Timelessly enchanting, musical seduction for the soul!
