Line up:
Dave Toule
2nd March
Edinburgh’s own Dave Toule breathes fresh life into a unique selection of classics and hidden gems alike. Join him for an evening of dazzling guitar work, and captivating vocals as he takes you on a journey through the golden era of Swing.
Marianne McGregor Duo
9th March
Scottish Jazz vocalist Marianne McGregor is an exciting new voice in the UK Jazz scene. Her vocals are rich and velvety in tone, with impressive technical agility and a warm sound that ignites old time jazz flair with fresh modern flavour.
McGregor is a natural vocal improviser with an Ella-like freedom towards scatting. Gliding through scat-solos like a horn, she swings and brings something rhythmic, with bite and substance.
Marianne has been performing sell-out shows in the UK, commanding her audiences with charm and musical sincerity in every note she sings. With delivery that ranges from gutsy and bluesy to delicate and personal, Marianne’s voice will break your heart and mend it all in one performance.
The young singer has made great strides in Scottish Jazz, being awarded ‘Rising Star’ in the Scottish Jazz Awards 2019 and later ‘Best Vocalist’ in the Scottish Jazz Awards 2021. With some international performances already under her belt, Marianne was selected to represent UK jazz with a performance for the British Embassy in Havana, Cuba.
Elaine Crighton
16th March
Elaine is a jazz vocalist who has The Great American Songbook in her DNA. Known around the jazz scene as a bubbly performer and having recently moved to Edinburgh in March 2020 from Aberdeenshire Elaine is embracing city life and the opportunity to play in all the varied venues that Edinburgh has to offer.
Kat Brooks Duo
23rd March
Kat has built a reputation for herself as fierce front-woman and high-energy vocalist in Edinburgh over the past few years. Now she will be sharing some of her favourite songs to perform in this intimate setting, inspired by some of her favourite singers such as Etta James and Nina Simone. This is your chance to catch Kat exploring the warmth and depth of some jazz classics as well as lesser-known gems. Full time session guitarist and member of jazz trio Kultura, Harry Higgs fulfils the role of harmony and rhythm for Kat with occasional sparks of tasteful and understated lead.
Toby Mottershead
30th March
Steel guitar player, singer, and raconteur, Toby Mottershead takes you on a tour of early blues and roots music in an intimate solo show, which features his extraordinary knowledge of American music from the birth of the 20th Century. He has an uncanny ability to bring it back to life: jug bands, juke joints, you’ll come away with the sounds of the Delta and the Hill Country, too.
