About Alice Harvey
"A great new talent, a lovely voice" is how Angie Carter, Director of
the Eyam Jazz Festival in Derbyshire, described Alice after her debut
at the event in 2003. Although it was her first jazz festival (and she
went down a storm!) Alice's talent is hardly new. She's been singing ever
since she could hold a tune at two years old and at eight she was a session
singer, performing backing vocals on a recording by BIll 'Compo' Owen
(Last Of The Summer Wine) in a London studio. Since then she has sung
in various styles, including pop, country, soul and jazz, in studios as
widely spread as London, Derbyshire, Cheshire and Surrey. Recent work
includes a collaboration with guitar virtuoso Mick Rogers, of Manfred
Mann's Earth Band.
These days she's working hard on building a gigging career with her own
band, at the core of which is superb jazz pianist Eugene Portman.
The Music Alice Sings
The repertoire sophisticated,
romantic and very classy, is a rich blend of jazz, ballads, smooth soul
and blues. It's mostly standards from the likes of great jazz singers
like Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday and Peggy Lee, but influences include
Diana Krall, Dusty Springfield, Sade and Etta James. Alice Harvey offers
elegant swing & jazz music for any occasion.
Where Alice Performs
Alice's live appearances, especially with her dad's band The Back Street
Jivers, were always well received, however it's only in the last three
years that she's taken the hint and decided to devote more time to performing.
As Mick Rogers says, "She's too good to be stuck in a studio - she should
be out there getting famous".
Bandleader and jazz singer Alice Harvey, frequently performs all over
the UK for private parties and corporate events but she can also be
seen live on the Gala Casino circuit. These performances are usually
as a duo with Eugene Portman on piano and are mainly in Northampton,
Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Bournemouth. The
bulk of Alice's work is in Yorkshire, Lancashire, Northumberland, Derbyshire,
Northamptonshire and the Midlands but she is available throughout the
UK.
Alice's availability as a jazz singer
Alice is available as a jazz singer for any party, fashion
show, trade show, wedding, corporate event, divorce party, or any other
special occasion. Her work takes her around Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire,
Northamptonshire, Birmingham. Midlands and all over the UK. She can provide
