Book this show◆ ABOUT THE SHOW ◆
Yes, ma'am!
The show is full of bounce. Fiona swings and jives her way through the top Big Band melodies of the 1940s, inspiring the imagination and invoking memories of the past.
The American side of her 1940s repertoire includes a US Army Medley with This Is the Army Mr Jones and Deep in the Heart of Texas, and Glenn Miller hits such as Chattanooga Choo Choo and In the Mood.
For Normandy commemorations, American-themed weekends and 1940s events, the GI uniform gives the programme a different flavour from her British-uniform shows.
◆ THE MUSIC ◆
Fast, loud and fabulous.
GI Jive; In the Mood; Chattanooga Choo Choo; This Is the Army Mr Jones; Deep in the Heart of Texas; Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy and more.
◆ ON THE DAY ◆
Just add a room.
Fiona is completely self-contained. She brings her own sound system and backing tracks that she has had recorded to her own orchestral arrangements, so there is no band to book unless you want one.
She performs indoors and outdoors, and her own system can sound up to 2000 people for the larger outdoor events.
Fiona likes to tailor each show to the venue and the occasion, so tell her what you have in mind when you enquire.
