Since as long as she can remember Essex born Beverley has been immersed in popular music, starting with the Great American songbook interpreted by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole and Billie Holiday.
Contemporary artists such as Carol King and Madonna have also had major influences. The key has always been the combination of melody, musical arrangement, emotion, and the story to be told – the more soul searching the better.
Her professional adventure started after leaving her 9-5 job and taking on a singing engagement on the high seas. Her deep love of singing and performing was discovered and her future mapped out.
Since then she has travelled to many parts of the world, appeared on British television, and secured long term residencies at prestigious central London venues. More than happy working as a jazz singer with small groups or fronting a swinging big band, Beverley has performed at some of the finest venues in the land including Ronnie Scotts, the 606 Club, Pizza Express Soho, The Hideaway, Bateaux River Cruises, The Wellesley, The Hippodrome and The Forum.
Whilst cultivating her song writing career she has worked with some of the country’s foremost musicians and producers, and her debut album Butterfly Rising is available to buy on iTunes.
Her passion for all things singing has in recent years been extended to the field of vocal coaching and guiding individuals who need help in exposing hidden talent.

I was recommended to Beverley when seeking a versatile Jazz/blues & soul singer with that ‘wow’ factor.
We were launching a new series of Jazz/blues/soul & Motown shows and needed performers with both artistic vocal talent but also being great a performer, too.
Beverley delivered on this big time.
Our feedback from the audience was very very positive.
I was very happy with Beverley, warm hearted, polite, humble and a true professional.
Will definitely call on her again for future shows.

Beverley was highly recommended to me for entertaining at a 100th birthday party held in a hall. I was bit concerned as I hadn’t personally seen her perform, well I needn’t have worried! She was fantastic, so organised and did her research into finding out what music/songs were preferred. Even if it wasn’t included in her repertoire, she managed to sing these tunes wonderfully. She definitely made the party have a vibrant feel and everyone who attended said she was brilliant and had made everyone feel welcome with her endearing and warm personality!
I would definitely recommend her if you want your party or function to be an absolute success.
