More about Shireen:

“A brilliant vocalist. An extraordinary performance.” (Jazzwise Magazine)

During her 30-year career, Shireen Francis has performed at venues such as Ronnie Scott’s, the Royal Festival Hall and the Royal Albert Hall. Shireen Francis is a warm and soulful performer who continually takes her audiences into a new dimension.

Born in London of Jamaican and Goan Heritage, Shireen learned her craft in Afro-Caribbean music but in recent years her jazz singing inspired by artists such as Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan and Nancy Wilson has led her in a different direction including writing her own material.

“Shireen’s energy and versatility make her a serious contender for jazz’s long haul” (Bob Sinfield/Jazz Fm)

On keyboard, Gunther Kurmayr is a sought-after accompanist on the London circuit, and has performed at all the major venues in the UK as well as Lincoln Centre, New York, and jazz festivals including Montreal and Umbria.
