Claire Louise is a vintage style singer from the North East - Yorkshire area. She sings at vintage themed events across the UK, specialising in 1920s themed Peaky Blinders or Gatsby style events, wartime 1940s weekends, Hollywood/Broadway style events and vintage afternoon teas. Claire's repertoire is very broad as she can deliver a mix of well known jazz standards by the great composers of years gone by, musical showstoppers, or if you would prefer something more modern to get your party started, mixed covers from 1960s to now. 

 

Claire Louise can put together a set to create the right atmosphere for your special event, whether it be a specific vintage theme or an eclectic mix that you require. Bespoke set lists are available, along with suggested set lists for your event e.g. for weddings, birthdays and other special occasions.

A classically trained singer with a true passion for vintage style, Claire Louise is guaranteed to impress with her vocal talents and is equally at home providing the soundtrack to your sophisticated Gatsby era ball, as she is rallying an audience to join in with wartime singalong classics at a 1940's themed event.
