Gabby Young Quartet

Gabby Young was on track to become an opera singer until Jeff Buckley and the jazz greats inspired her to switch genres.

Her unique perspective of the world around her is inspired as much by her imagination as real events, but when thyroid cancer threatened to take her classically trained voice at the age of 22, she got serious about recording her stories. Using her recovery time to pen her melodies, Gabby took in global influences to fuel her heartfelt emotion, which shines through her beautifully haunting songs. “I feel blessed, rather than afflicted”, she says simply.

After a busy Summer playing in Europe, the Middle East & the UK with her band 'And Other Animals', she brings her unmissable musical extravaganza to the Elgar Room. Flamboyant and stylish, combining sensational vocals with jazz, swing and gypsy folk, elements, she lights up every venue she plays at.
