Victoria Newton

Vicki, a native Australian, has a powerful voice and outgoing personality that have stood her in good stead, not only as a jazz singer but as the former lead singer with the dance/pop group “Strike”. Despite her success in the pop world (records in the charts, numerous TV and radio appearances), her first love is still jazz and Brazilian music, which has been effectively captured on her jazz/Latin album “The Song is You”, released on Discovery Records to great acclaim. Now spending more time teaching and performing in her native Australia, it’s with enormous pleasure that we welcome this outstanding artist back to the Club for what is now a rare appearance on these shores. For this gig, Victoria will debut her latest project, a sultry fusion of timeless Brazilian classics from Jobim, Jorge Ben and Gilberto with some seriously funky roots in the spirit of Carnevale. Vickie is highly regarded by all the UK singers who know her, a number of whom always turn up when she’s here creating quite a “party” atmosphere. A fabulous high-energy gig from an impressive, exuberant personality, and a great way to spend a Wednesday night.
