Sandy Lawrence - solo vocalist
"THE DUCHESS"
With a vast repertoire of popular classics, whether it's a party, corporate event, care home or just a good old "knees-up".. in fact, anything that requires a top class entertainer, Sandy Lawrence is a great choice to make your event a success. Sandy performs a blend of classic hits across the decades, covering most genres from jazz and blues to pop rock, reggae, country and soul, and some old-time 40s tunes. Available to book self-contained with stage PA and lights.
Sandy Lawrence is a product of having grown up with the greatest music in history all around her. Her versatility and expansive range of musical taste and talent has been developed over 40 years in the profession, 23 years of those having been spent in Spain. She listens to her audience and knows how to reach them with her bubbly personality and velvet voice. Hailing from the Black Country, with humour and enthusiasm, she has the ability to win the attention and admiration of a crowd by offering a dynamic and sincere brand of popular entertainment.
Also available for appropriate events is her one-woman 40s themed show 'We'll Meet Again', a non-stop musical march down memory lane, with stage props and numerous costume changes.
Add a thigh-revealing gown and fabulous feathers and Sandy becomes Dame Shirley Bassey. There is an undeniably and uncanny resemblance to Dame Shirley and Sandy captures the voice and mannerisms with ease and practiced skill. She has been fortunate enough to have performed this show in Europe, the USA and the Middle East. (1 hour set, accompanied by a set complementary mixed classics)
