Wednesday 4th March 2026 | GEORGINA JACKSON
Georgina Jackson began as a professional trumpet player, touring for many years with West End Shows, Rat Pack shows and artists such as Frank Sinatra Junior, Nancy Sinatra, Four Tops and Temptations and Seal.
Harbouring a desire to wear a posh frock rather than the same as 'the lads' in the band, Georgina decided to make a dash for the front mic! Setting up her own Big Band to play at a local ballroom was the first step to fulfilling her frock and singing ambitions. Recording her own Big Band album at Abbey Road studios led to enthusiastic support from the legendary Michael Parkinson and her dream gig as resident performer with the Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Orchestra, where she has regularly performed for over 15 years.

British jazz vocalist, James Hudson is a rising star who epitomises the 21st century crooner.

Much of his repertoire is inspired by these artists and the timeless music of The Great American Songbook, with his own take of some more modern songs thrown in.
