Claire Martin, Gareth Williams (1), Laurence Cottle

A five times winner of best jazz singer at the British Jazz awards.

Growing up in a house full of music Claire Martin was born to sing. She loved Judy Garland but it was hearing Ella Fitzgerald's legendary Song Books that changed her life inspiring her to go to Stage School and then to study singing in London and New York. By the mid-nineties Claire had received the Rising Star and Best Vocalist awards at the British Jazz Awards while receiving rave reviews on her American debut with four sell-out shows in Washington DC.
