Lorraine and the Flames is a remarkable ensemble, comprising a 5-piece jazz band. It is known for its smooth and soulful blend of jazz with a distinct Celtic flavour. Some reviews liken exceptional vocalist, Lorraine Heavey, to the legendary Barbra Streisand and say that she brings a unique touch to every performance, balancing technical mastery with raw emotion. Her Flames, deliver smooth instrumentation including Rob Webb’s tasteful harmonies on piano, Pete Roth’s impressive licks and riffs on guitar, Mike Pratt’s lively double bass grooves, and John E Martin’s energetic percussion. Each band member is a virtuoso in their own right, with impressive lists of collaborations with renowned artists, yet their chemistry as a unit is what truly sets them apart. They seamlessly transition from upbeat swing numbers to sultry ballads, keeping the audience engaged with a delightful exploration of The Great American Songbook’s timeless classics from legendary composers such as Gershwin, Porter, Rogers and Hart, Arlen etc, and some contemporary numbers. Together, Lorraine and the Flames create a captivating musical experience.
What makes Lorraine and the Flames particularly special is their ability to connect with the crowd. Their performances are not just concerts, they are experiences filled with a genuine love for jazz. Whether performing in an intimate jazz club or at a larger festival, their energy is infectious, and their artistry is undeniable.
They perform Songs of The Great American Song Book from legendary composers such as Porter, Gershwin, Rogers and Hart regularly at London venues and clients include QEII, The Crazy Coqs, Soho, The Pheasantry, Chelsea, Pizza Express, Holborn, The Sheraton Grand Park Lane, The Bull's Head, Barnes, as well as for private and corporate clients.
