THE MUSICIANS USED IN THE VARIOUS LINE UPS

 

Alice Harvey (vocals)

Alice possesses an absolutely magical voice - and knows how to use it to it's full potential. Alice's style seems to work well with the larger line ups and is completely at home with a jazz band behind her.

Steve Conway (vocals)

Steve's style is mostly based on material from the Rat Pack Era. I must, however, emphasise that Steve is not a tribute act. His vocal style vocal has been forged from his own love of the great vocalists of the past which include: Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Harry Connick Junior. Although Steve has been influenced by these singers - he pocesses his own distinctive and characteristic sound.
