Rachel Sutton’s Festive Soirée

Christmas favourites, timeless jazz and plenty of festive spirit

Following a sold-out performance last year, Rachel Sutton returns to Toulouse Lautrec for another evening of Christmas favourites, timeless standards and specially arranged jazz.

Known for combining jazz with the storytelling instincts of her theatrical background, Rachel brings warmth, wit and character to every song. Expect familiar Christmas melodies alongside classic repertoire, reimagined with sophisticated arrangements and a generous dose of seasonal cheer.

Rachel is joined by a superb trio featuring Roland Perrin on piano, Curtis Ruiz on bass and Paul Robinson on drums, bringing together four accomplished musicians for a Christmas show full of personality, humour and great live jazz.

Settle in for an evening of festive music and celebrate the season at Toulouse Lautrec.

About Rachel Sutton

Rachel Sutton is a British jazz singer, songwriter and performer whose music combines jazz with influences from folk, pop and blues, underpinned by a strong sense of storytelling.

A classically trained actor, Rachel studied at Glamorgan University and the Welsh College of Music and Drama before touring the UK and Europe in leading stage roles. That theatrical background remains central to her work as a vocalist, bringing drama, humour and emotional depth to her live performances.

Her debut album, A Million Conversations, released on 33 Jazz Records, received widespread praise. Jazz Views described the record as “a revelation,” while The Jazz Mann called Rachel “a very classy vocalist.” London Jazz News has similarly praised her as “a stand-out performer.”

Since moving into jazz, Rachel has performed sell-out shows at leading London venues as well as appearing at festivals and on international stages. Her second album, Realms, was released in March 2026.
