Fiona Harrison: A Voice in a Million

Fiona Harrison is an extraordinary entertainer who combines beauty and elegance with quality and style. Dubbed by one theatre critic “A Voice in a Million” after her stunning performance in the touring stage musical From Cobbles to Rock, Fiona has led the way in vintage entertainment, performing extensively in theatres and cabaret venues from as far afield as Japan to the Outer Hebrides and Europe. Highly respected on the re-enactment and heritage scene for her gorgeous costumes and thrilling showmanship, Fiona specialises in music from the 1880s to the 1970s, performing a variety of musical styles from Opera, Big Band and Swing to Rock and Roll.

Fiona's trademarks are her superb medley arrangements and close harmony work. By recording the two harmony parts onto her backing track and then singing the melody line live, her act is unique and unlike any other. With over a thousand songs in her repertoire and a wealth of shows to choose from, her performances are always fresh and exciting, with great musical and vocal variation and stunning period costumes.

Credits have included stand-up comedy in the Joyce Grenfell vein, summer seasons, pantomime, and working with The Milton Keynes City Orchestra Big Band and the George Thorby Glenn Miller Orchestra. She has starred in You Are My Heart's Delight at Bexhill's De La Warr Pavilion with Opera South East, plus national theatre tours in the 1940s stage musicals We'll Meet Again and How Hovis Won the War.

Fiona spends much of her time travelling, performing around 300 shows a year. She has a growing following on social media and writes for the monthly nostalgic magazine Best of British on fashion and music connected with the 1940s and vintage scene.
