BIOGRAPHY

MUSIC - Susie Heath_edited_edited.jpg
Suzie Heath is an accomplished singer and musician who has been performing for over 40 years. Her musical career began early on, singing and harmonising with her parents, sister and brother in the family band - they played at many clubs, bars and hotels in and around London and this provided a fantastic pool of experience to dip into in later in life!
Suzie has been performing ever since and relishes the challenge of playing different genres of music and subsequently has a vast repertoire and a broad base of musicians she can call upon and combine depending on what the client requires.
She has recently performed at International events for Festival Estival in both Valencia and Krakow ; has played regularly for afternoon tea at the Four Seasons Hotel in Mayfair; performed two years running at the Holt Festival in Norfolk; was cocktail pianist/singer for P&O cruise ships; sang at the Duxford Air Show (2018) with the fabulous Umbrella Big Band and, has twice supported Chas n Dave with a local rock band!  This is all in addition to playing with her regular band at many weddings, parties etc., so clearly variety is the spice of her musical life!

As well as leading her regular function band Q6, Suzie combines with a number of other excellent musicians and can therefore provide any of the following combinations for an event:

1. SOLO PIANIST/VOCALIST

Suzie has sung and played for many events, big and small, as a solo artist. A solo piano creates a lovely ambience as background music for wedding lunches, dinner parties etc and is less intrusive than a vocalist. However, should your event take a lively turn mid-way, you can have two for the price of one as Suzie is well able to 'go with the flow' of the evening and will pick up the pace accordingly when required to! 

 

2. ACOUSTIC MALE/FEMALE DUO

This duo comprise of Suzie and fellow musician/guitarist Tony Taylor. They perform a mix of musical styles in an acoustic set up with guitar and keyboard. Great for smaller venues, restaurants and events requiring easy listening music.

3. JAZZ TRIO

Suzie joins forces with bassist Martin Bardsley and drummer Jack Roberts to form the Suzie Heath Trio. They perform an impressive selection of popular jazz standards with a focus on the songs of the great female jazz vocalists such as Ella Fitzgerald.

4. THE Q6 FUNKTION BAND (up to a 12 piece combo)

The band is currently a 6-piece comprising of piano, bass, drums, guitar and two saxophones but they are often joined by trumpet, trombone and extra vocalists depending on the event. They mainly focus on soul and funk but have a vast repertoire which includes many rock and indie songs so if you dont see it, ask for it! 

5. THE UMBRELLA BIG BAND (15 piece swing band)

Suzie regularly sings with this fabulous big band and they cover all the great swing and jazz songs of the big band era. See www.umbrellabigband.co.uk for more details

 

Suzie is very keen to ensure that she and her musicians deliver what is required as at the end of the day, our reputation depends upon a successful performance so, give us a call - your event is in safe hands!
