Book this show◆ ABOUT THE SHOW ◆
Ponytails and petticoats.
The programme runs from the Big Bopper to Doris Day and from Glenn Miller's In the Mood to Chuck Berry's Johnny B. Goode. The show has something for everyone.
It bridges two of Fiona's most requested eras, so it is a good choice when the audience cannot agree on a decade. The smoother Big Band numbers sit alongside Rock and Roll, and the evening builds towards the dance numbers.
For bookers who want a complement to a Rock and Roll or Rockabilly event, Fiona makes the perfect contrast, with well-loved sing-along tunes from Mr Sandman to Doris Day's Que Sera Sera.
Fiona commissions the highest grade musicians to compile her digitally recorded backing tracks, which means she can work anywhere in the world.

Hollywood meets the hop.

◆ 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.
Rock and Roll and Rockabilly events, mixed-age parties, themed dances and hotel evenings.
