Colette & Co Jazz /pop singer - Retro, elegant, friendly and fun

We only need a power supply and a small performance space - we can bring everything else or use your sound system if preferred.

We bring Bose PA system and all technical audio equipment required but not lighting.

Other than postcode we just need to know if there is parking, loading/unloading space and distance from power supply.
It is useful to know the approximate size/capacity of venue and number of guests that will be attending. If on a higher floor is there a lift for bringing in the equipment.

We can sort a playlist with the client and play music between sets if required.

Imelda May and Corinne Bailey Rae are two of my favourites but I love so many artists... Norah Jones, Ed Sheeran, Bob Dylan, Carole King, Callum Scott, Sam Smith, Amy Winehouse and many more.
Of course also so many great jazz singers from the past - Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Billie Holiday....

I have eclectic taste and love so many songs from all era. I like to experiment giving a retro jazz twist to modern classics eg. Toxic or Tainted Love But if I had to choose a favourite - Here's To life by Artie Butler for lyrics and Corcovado for melody.

I have been singing for over 15 years - mostly at private events such as milestone birthdays, weddings, gala nights etc and in pubs, restaurants and piano bars.

I always had a passion for singing and took tuition as soon as I was able to afford to leave my desk job. I was a fast learner and quickly took to performing. I tested my skills hosting karaoke nights and themed karaoke parties. After attending various courses I found my real love in jazz and country and started performing solo in hotel bars. I then went on to find like-minded musicians and now perform as a solo artist or with an ensemble of live musicians.

I love singing in a piano bar while people relax and dine but have also really enjoyed doing street parties and milestone birthdays Always such a happy positive vibe going on - family, friends and communities all having fun together.

We bring a Bose compact PA system which gives exceptional quality sound but requires minimum space.
We bring guitar amp, mics and music stands and can set up in 20 minutes
Cordless mics and vintage mic available on request
Performance time depends on client and event type but typically..
1 set - 30 mins to 1 hour
2 sets of 45 mins
3 sets of 30 mins

Yes - we have often performed at street parties and garden parties. We just need access to power supply and cover if there is a chance of rain.

I always discuss the music with the client before they booking so that everyone is clear on what will be played. If a client has a favourite song I can learn it and even change the lyrics to suit a special event. I just need a little warning, particularly if live musicians are also involved.

Fabulous, fun, friendly, professional and entertaining !
