Hello! I'm Florence. I've been a performing musician for over 20 years. I live for music and love nothing more than sharing my talent with others.
I began performing as a soloist with my guitar at age 17 and have performed in numerous bands, both originals and function bands, over the years. I've performed across the UK and internationally.
I love music and choose songs that I believe have substance and style. I have a broad selection of songs, covering numerous styles, fitting for all sorts of occassion!
I have a voice rich in soul, power and emotion, reminiscent of the soul greats of the 60s and 70s, laced with rock, jazz and blues.
I offer a selection of set lists to perfectly suit any evening. Along with my guitar, I covers a wide range of rock, soul and pop songs and can craft a laid back, chilled out set, a fun, upbeat set or a combination of the two. I also offer a jazz set or a disco party set with backing tracks.
I'd love to add something special to your day!

I love my rock and soul. Led Zeppelin have always been my favourite band. I also love the old greats like Etta James and Aretha Franklin. The influences of those big voices is very much evident in my voice!
I've been a performing musician for 18+ years, but I've been singing since before I could talk! I live for music and love nothing more than sharing my talent with others.
