About the Event
Inspired by the coolness of jazz divas such as Julie London and Anita O’Day, and the emotion of late night ballads by Sarah Vaughn and Billie Holiday, Jo Harrop's appeal is her seductive mannerisms and phrasing mixed with plenty of hip cachet. As interpreter of lyrics, she draws you into the narrative with effortless style and ease. The voice is husky toned, with immaculate timing, and an unsentimental tenderness and a shrewd wit” _Emrys Baird, Blues & Soul Magazine.
“ A singing sensation”.... Her voice is amazing – think Islay whisky, dark porter or tannin-rich red wine –deep, the lissome lady is a class act. The Real Deal"_Bebop Spoken Here Blog
