A smoky-voiced singer of timeless jazz standards, bossa nova and more, Andrea (aka Little Black Dress) is a rising star on the UK jazz scene - available as a duo (voice & piano/guitar) through to a quintet.

Whether you want a background 'cocktail' jazz duo to play during a drinks or dinner reception, or a full Rat Pack-style swing band to dance the night away, Andrea and her musicians will provide the perfect jazz music for your event.  Her voice is timeless and smoky - think Diana Krall or Julie London! - and her repertoire of swinging jazz, smoochy bossa nova and gorgeous ballads is bound to be a hit with guests of any age or background.

Andrea is an experienced performer at jazz nights, functions and weddings nationwide, and the venues she has played include: Ronnie Scott's, 606 Club, Kensington Palace, Eastnor Castle, Chandos House and BAFTA. Her clients have included Jumeirah Hotels, the Royal Navy and the University of Oxford - and in 2008, she had a two-month residency at the 5-star G Hotel in Malaysia.

What people say

  • Andrea and her band were just fantastic at our wedding reception… They were so friendly and amenable, their music complemented the mood of both the drinks and dinner perfectly - and she looked divine! All our guests were in awe of them - I can't recommend them highly enough.

    Emma C., Wedding, Surrey, August 2009

  • Andrea always goes down really well at our venue. She has a very warm presence on stage, sings a great repertoire of songs, and is always highly professional in her work. I fully recommend her.

    Owner/Manager, Jazz venue, London, July 2009

  • We received masses of compliments on Andrea’s performance at our wedding party…Her gorgeous, easy-listening voice - accompanied by a brilliant guitar player - was the perfect backdrop to the first part of our evening’s celebrations.

    Tracy T., Wedding, London, June 2009

  • A sultry voice and a sparkling personality... Andrea is hugely enjoyable. She performed at the festival to critical acclaim, singing both jazz standards and modern songs with flair and style. Definitely someone on the fast track.
