Marianne McGregor
11th May
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, Cub
Graeme Stephen
18th May
Standards, Modern Jazz and originals from award winning Guitarist Graeme Stephen featuring Ed Kelly on double bass.
“Stephen’s daring writing and willingness to complement conventional lyricism with sonic experiment makes for a powerful experience, fiercely driven at times but often subtly impressionistic, with rock and folk influences and electronic effects all judiciously woven into the soundscape” –Kenny Mathieson, The Scotsman.
Dave Toule
25th May
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.
