Soirée: Georgina Jackson

Georgina Jackson is an avowed fan of Frank Sinatra, big bands and the American Songbook. The native of Wigan is also a talented trumpet player and a singer with a sassy, vibrant style, and it's a winning combination.

As a trumpet player Georgina has performed with Nancy Sinatra, Gladys Knight and Seal, as well as in the orchestras of West End shows such as Chicago. Her singing career has emerged gradually in recent years, performances with the BBC Big Band and the Ronnie Scott's Jazz Orchestra

Her voice has a genuine '50s vibe.

She brings a fine band: Chris Ingham on piano, the legendary Dave Green on bass, and George Double on drums.

And it is our photographer and merchandiser Peter Fairman's birthday.
