Hooray for Hollywood: A celebration of MGM studios’ is a show that brings to life the brilliant songwriting of the golden age of Hollywood repurposed for an intimate jazz setting. Isobel and her band Matyás Gayer piano, Matyás Hofecker bass and Joe Dessauer drums bring Tinsel Town to London Town with fresh arrangements of classic tunes from blockbuster films such as ‘Singin’ in the Rain’, ‘The Wizard of Oz’, ‘High Society’ and many more. This elegant programme treats the audience to familiar favourites in a relaxed setting whilst not compromising on the style and spontaneity of an authentic jazz quartet.
‘She sounds so authentic and stylish but fresh at the same time’ – John Wilson
‘Isobel’s yearning vocal could easily be the theme tune to the next Bond movie.’ – Dave Doyle The Syncopated Times
“Ms Gathercole proves to be a distinctive and confident vocalist, equally adept at a slow ballad or a swinger….She has style, timing and above all, a distinctive voice which is all her own. There are occasional shades of Billie Holiday but that can’t be bad, can it?”
