Hannah Northedge has an instantly recognisable voice. A warm alto with a rich, lush timbre, impressive power across her range that spans more than three octaves and incredible versatility, dynamic range, agility and command.

She excels at singing jazz, blues, swing and country styles but also sings pop, rock and other contemporary styles with authenticity.

Hannah is a glamourous chanteuse and charismatic band leader and fronts her own ensembles comprising some of the UK's finest musicians from duo, trio, quartet, quintet to larger ensembles. She can also perform solo using high quality backing tracks and also as a guest singer with other ensembles.

She is currently undertaking a one year postgraduate Master of Music (MMus) Performance degree at the University of Surrey.

She has had the privilege of performing in prestigious and legendary venues such as the 606 Jazz Club, Smollenskys and The Barbican and has featured on the bill of the Greenwich Jazz Festival. She has a residency at Rendezvous Casino in Brighton and has also enjoyed various cruise contracts and has major session singing credits. Jazz FM and BBC Radio have aired Hannah's recordings and invited her in for live sessions and interviews.

She has been a guest singer with The Les Paul Trio in New York City, The Rat Pack Trio and Orchestra and The Rob James Orchestra, swing band Rockin' in Rhythm and The Piccadilly Dance Orchestra. Some of the musicians she works with include Derek Nash; saxophonist for Jools Holland and internationally renowned pianists and composer Simon Wallace and Christian Vaughan.

2012 will see the release of two albums for Hannah: a collection of jazz and blues songs and also an album of self penned country blues originals. With the latter project, Hannah has been asked to record in Nashville for a songwriter that wrote for late country legend Johnny Cash.

In 2007 with her choir The Hannah Northedge Singers she recorded part of the soundtrack for major feature film The Oxford Murders (starring John Hurt and Elijah Wood) for film composer Roque Banos at Abbey Road Studios and appeared in the film too!

She presently trains her voice with respected session singer and vocal coach Kim Chandler and also Dane Chalfin and has, in the past, had tuition from Mary Hammond (Royal Academy of Music), Gillyanne Kayes (Vocal Process) and jazz singer Tina May.

Hannah herself is a private vocal coach teaching adults that are either professional vocalists or are ready to enter the industry.

Miss Northedge's particular penchant for donning authentic 1920s, 30s and 40s clothing with hairstyles to match when performing is why she is often sought after as a featured act for vintage and World War II events including the world renowned Twinwood Festival.

With fellow Last Minute Musicians artist and multi instrumentalist Matt Dibble, Hannah fronts a sleek 5 piece function band named Ricochet playing rock and pop from the 1950s to present day and also jazz if requested.

Hannah doesn't usually mention…….that she played the lead role of Traudl Junge, Hitler's secretary in a BBC 2 documentary called Days That Shook the World!


"If I ever needed a singer or a choir for a film soundtrack, I wouldn't consider using anyone else."
Roque Banos - Film composer (The Oxford Murders, Sexy Beast, The Machinist)

" 'In the Still of the Night' is an excellent performance. I really enjoyed it."
DJ Chris Moore - Jazz Incorporated show, BBC Radio

"It was a great pleasure having Hannah singing with us at the 606 Club."
Russ Henderson MBE - Noted jazz pianist and steel pan player

"We would like to extend our most sincere gratitude to you for your awesome performance at our wedding. You gave us exactly what we were looking for, and so many of our guests have pointed out that "... the band and the singer were fabulous." You guys were really swinging hard. Please let the rest of the band know how happy we were with the performance and mention specifically to the bassist that we loved his sound. We wish you all the best for the future.

"Dear Hannah It was such a pleasure to have you, Matt and John perform at our wedding. Your voice is so beautiful and every single one of our guests commented on your wonderful performance. Even Grandma and Grandad got up for a boogie which is unheard of! Our first dance was perfect and I think I even prefer your version of Better Together especially with the acoustic bit! We had such a memorable day and will be recommending you to all my clients, friends and family. Can't thank you enough. Best wishes The new Mr & Mrs Mitchell (!)

"Hannah and her jazz trio played at my 30th birthday on Battersea Barge the other weekend and were fantastic. The group kept everyone dancing throughout their set and Hannah's voice was beautiful. Hannah listened to everything we wanted for the evening and allowed us to create a set that suited the night which was brilliant. I would definitely recommend booking them for any special occasion. 9th April 2011 "

"Dear Hannah, Through my professional work I have heard many hundreds of vocal artists perform live, especially in the jazz idiom. So I can say with confidence that you are a vocalist with an exquisite tone and assured delivery. Your instrument has a remarkably broad tessitura and, coupled with this, your memorable phrasing is both sumptuous and virtuosic. On the two occasions I have seen you perform live, you have delivered magnificently mellifluous coloratura passages which have an almost silken feel. Notable too is your ability to improvise without effort, almost playfully; in that respect you resemble a master saxophonist. Your interpretations of jazz standards and more challenging material have assured me of your tremendous musicality. To cap your technical ability, you have an almost symbiotic rapport with the audience. The term “rapport” is grossly overused; here I am referring to its French meaning, which is to do with an exchange in the truest sense. I so look forward to hearing you perform again – perhaps this time with a driving big band behind you! April 2011"

"We just had a wedding last weekend and Hannah was FANTASTIC!! Her performance was so moving that our guests were really having a great time. When she was singing "Twist and Shout", everyone (literally EVERYONE) joint us at the dance floor and we were having such a amazing time. We wish the performance would have gone on forever unfortunately the hotel regulation requires that we stop at midnight. Apart from the magical singing, she was extremely professional in dealing with us, e.g. song selection, very responsive to emails, etc. She even agreed to learn to sing a couple of German songs and it was fantastic. Oh did we mention, she is such a pretty and friendly lady! If you like Jazz, Swing kind of music, you will definitely like Hannah! p/s: I want to give her a 100 stars but the website wouldn't let me!!!!!! "

"Thank you so much for performing at our themed ball! You really added to the atmosphere. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the music and we really appreciated the fact that you learnt new numbers for the event. You have a fab sound and were wonderful to work with. Thanks again!

"Hannah, I wanted to say an enormous thank you to you and the band for your fabulous performance at our wedding. Coordinating the arrival of eight band members in the beautiful but incredibly impractical snow was no mean feat, neither was trekking through the grounds in the snow to set up quietly behind the scenes in the marquee. From my perspective you and the band magically appeared looking as stylish as I had hoped and created the most wonderful, nostalgic atmosphere which reflected the mood of old school glamour I was hoping for. My memories of the day are somewhat limited as it passed so quickly, but I do remember being transported to another era on the dance floor, and have heard nothing but praise from all our guests for your performance. I cannot recommend you enough! Wedding at Barrington Hall, Cambridge 19th December 2009"

"The band were punctual and professional. They turned a great couple of sets for us and kept people on the dancefloor. They were very accommodating - even rearranging a couple of our favourite 90's tunes into classic swing time songs. "

"We had such a fantastic time on our wedding night thanks to the brilliant performance that you gave. I look forward to hearing more of your success in the future and would not hesitate to book you again for a party. I do not think that there was one person who did not enjoy getting up and having a dance. Hannah has an excellent voice and gives a magical performance any wedding would not be complete without a good band and you guys were the full stop! Thank you! Thank you from Katherine and Blake Barton."

The band were completely professional and adapted really well to the various changes on the night. All the guests commented on the great music which was a key factor in our evening being a success. Hannah has one of the best jazz voices!"

"Hi Hannah Not been back long from our honeymoon - had a lovely peaceful time but back at work and down to earth with a crash! Thanks ever so much, you and your band were brilliant at our reception. It really made our day. I've left a comment on your website for all to see and hopefully help you get more gigs. Put me on the list for your cd, would definitely be a great memento. What a saleswoman! Cheers Matt"
