This fabulous jazz quartet was originally founded during Emily’s days in Brighton when she was cutting her teeth on the live music circuit in her early 20s.

The powerhouse vocalist has reinvented the band’s sound and style with new musicians and is excited to reintroduce the outfit in her beloved hometown of Louth.

Emily is already being noticed on the UK jazz scene and is attracting critical acclaim.

BBC Radio commented that her singing is “undoubtedly the best I’ve heard in a long time. You’ll want to hear this.” Curious London was briefer - “What an incredible set of lungs”

The audience can expect evocative renditions of classics from the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Dave Brubeck, Dinah Washington and Sarah Vaughan.

The Quartet will feature the Masons debut of up-and-coming young jazz pianist Rachael Johnson.
