Colette is a jazz/pop singer available as a solo act or with a selection of excellent and highly experienced musicians, forming the jazz ensemble Colette & Co.
Colette's singing style - think cocktail lounge, smooth, mellow, jazzy and just a little bit country. The music is mostly retro-style covering the jazz standards but also country and pop classics and Colette also sings a selection of songs in French.
I can provide guitarist, pianist and saxophone players if you prefer a live sound instead of backing tracks. Whether solo or as an ensemble, our vibe is laid back and friendly. I can learn songs specific to your event, take requests where possible or even lead sing-alongs. I have over 15 years experience performing at intimate style gigs and know how to engage with my audience. My primary aim is to make my audience happy!
We bring all the necessary sound equipment , we communicate fully with you before your event to ensure your needs are met and we try to accommodate any requests. We are always on time and professional in our approach to any gig and our client always comes first.
Please get in touch and chat through your event. I would love to perform for you and your friends or colleagues. I am sure i can bring something special to your party.

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 !
