TESTIMONIALS

“I’ve worked with Jo many times on tours and recordings for the Beki Brindle Band. Her backing vocals are always exemplary, accurate and soulful. As a featured vocalist she fronted my Swing Orchestra with very little rehearsal to deliver a stunning ‘New Year’s Eve Extravaganza’ performance at the Royal Festival Hall in 2019. Jo is a talented and versatile performer; easy to work with and a dedicated, consummate professional. Highly recommended”
