Vanessa Haynes Birthday Gig
Vocalist Vanessa Haynes performs a mix of soul, R&B standards and originals with some jazz standards thrown in. With her powerful, cultured voice and commanding stage presence, she is quite stunning. Not surprisingly her talent was recognised by Van Morrison (with whose band she toured) but she is probably best known these days as one of the featured singers with the iconic soul/jazz band “Incognito”, having toured and recorded with them for more than ten years. Her fabulous band features some of the country’s finest “groove” players: Al Cherry-guitar, Tom O’Grady-keyboard, Tiago Coimbra-bass & Martyn Kaine-drums and as Vanessa will be celebrating her upcoming birthday tonight, she has added three brilliant singers and good friends to the lineup to provide backing vocals: Mary Pearce, Belle Erskine & Chloe Dure. Expect plenty of fun!
