SINGER
Mary currently sings with much sought after jazz duo Astoria’s Lounge. Their notoriously chic and professional performances have attracted the attention of hotels like The Dorchester London, wedding parties and jazz clubs across the South. Their distinctive sound has even been noticed further afield and they have been offered work in venues across the world.
She also works alongside guitarist Andy Hedges and performs acoustic sets in venues such as The Komedia, Brighton.
Other projects include collaborations with electronic music groups, such as The Sunset Strippers and My Digital Enemy.
BASSOONIST Mary is an accomplished virtuoso bassoonist with some remarkable performing experience behind her. This rather misunderstood instrument is now known as an endangered species and it is not for the faint hearted!
Bassoon players are few and far between and very much in demand! This tricky instrument has proved to be an excellent sidekick to Mary’s vocal work, as it has taken her world wide and given her invaluable confidence in her ability. She has played with many ensembles across the world and currently plays with orchestras and secular groups, including The Lugard Wind Quintet, formed by ex members of the Hong Kong Chamber Orchestra. A full performance resume can be supplied on demand.
