Biography

Hannah is a sultry songstress of old fashioned glamour and bandleader of her own ensembles. She is a classically trained singer and is in high demand with The Hannah Northedge Jazz ensembles that include some of the most skilled jazz musicians in the UK and holds residencies at Smollensky's restaurants in London and Surrey, The Piano Lounge in Epping, Booty's Riverside Jazz Bar in Limehouse, The Sandgate Hotel in Folkestone, Kent and Mackenzie's Cafe Bar in West Malling, Kent.


Vocal TrioSince a very successful appearance at Greenwich Jazz Festival twice last year, Hannah has been invited back again this year and has also been booked to play at Mill Hill and Harborough Jazz Club. She is frequently invited to sing at the 606 Jazz Club with The Russ Henderson Piano Trio and other acts. She has received record label interest from The Jazz radio station and she will be releasing an album of uniquely arranged standards and her own original compositions with a country jazz flavour in 2008.


Vocal QuartetHannah has studied under the expert tutelage of respected jazz singer Tina May and Mary Hammond, Head of Musical Theatre at The Royal Academy of Music. She has been the guest singer with The Rat Pack Trio and Orchestra since early 2006. She continues to tour sold out theatres with them nationwide.


Hannah's powerful voice, musicality and talent for jazz repertoire leads to frequent requests to front other well known jazz outfits including 7 piece 1930s and 40s swing band Rockin' in Rhythm, Kind of Jazz function band, The Piccadilly Dance Orchestra, 78rpm and The Rob James Orchestra. She works with former BBC Big Band leader, composer and pianist Ronnie Smith, internationally renowned pianist Simon Wallace and Christian Vaughan and guitarists Shane Hill and Alex Steer.


Hannah DecoMiss Northedge's particular penchant for donning authentic 1920s, 30s and 40s clothing with hairstyles to match when performing is why she is often sought after as a featured act for vintage and World War II events. She was recently booked for The Fabulous Forties weekend in Eastbourne and has been invited back for the Fabulous Forties Week in January 2008.


Hannah’s voice is very versatile and she has sung with many pop function bands on cruises and at weddings and functions. She also works as a session singer and recently appeared in and sang with her ensemble The Hannah Northedge Singers on the soundtrack of major feature film The Oxford Murders starring John Hurt and Elijah Wood.

"Hi Hannah Not been back long from our honeymoon - had a lovely peaceful time but back at work and down to earth with a crash! Thanks ever so much, you and your band were brilliant at our reception. It really made our day. I've left a comment on your website for all to see and hopefully help you get more gigs. Put me on the list for your cd, would definitely be a great memento. What a saleswoman! Cheers Matt"
