 “...I could easily sit through an evening of that!” Humphrey Lyttleton
Sue Rivers is a singer who works with many combinations of gifted musicians and her area of speciality is jazz. She lives in Sevenoaks, Kent, UK. Check the gigs page to see where she is perfoming.
Sue works with just pianist or guitarist through more lively quartets to the exciting accompaniment of a big-band. An experienced and reliable performer and band leader, Sue will select just the right mix of accompanying musicians for your pub, club or function. Weddings, special celebrations and corporate events are a speciality. Perhaps you'd like easy-listening, relaxing jazz to accompany your meal, then maybe dance to some more lively jazz, swing and Latin, pop, soul and disco classics ...
Whatever the occasion, please contact Sue in good time to avoid disappointment so you can discuss your requirements with her. The fee will depend on the date, size of band, location and type of function.

The accompanying quartet is Jo Fooks (sax), Jim Treweek (piano), Pete Ringrose (bass), Buster Birch (drums).

I could easily sit through an evening of that!” ... Humphrey Lyttleton, on ‘Best of Jazz’ BBC Radio 2 - May 2005
