VAL SINCLAIR – SHROPSHIRE VOCALIST (BLUES/JAZZ/ROCK)
Previously based in Cambridge, UK, and now living near Shrewsbury, VAL SINCLAIR became well known as the resident vocalist for 8 years with the UK’s amazing ‘Galaxy Big Band’.
Now working alongside the best of musicians, she describes herself as ‘a rather ordinary, home-loving woman, who just needs to sing the blues’.
Her performance is nevertheless extraordinary, revealing a woman with a passion for music, a huge fun-filled personality and a vocalist who is at ease with many music genres. Colleagues say “she is a very professional musician with a warmth that players and audiences are drawn to – she brings out the very best in everyone”.
She has performed at numerous proms and festivals, worked in every kind of venue, from major theatres and concert halls, to the smallest intimate music room. She performed her own jazz concert in the glorious setting of Hereford Cathedral and 2018 saw her working in the USA with Mark Warner’s band, followed by jazz concert in Switzerland on MS Oscar Wilde.
Although being in high demand from many bands, Val concentrates on vocally-led work with
MOOD INDIGO (Shropshire based), newly formed since relocating to Shropshire. Similar in style to the Cambridge ‘Turquoise’ band, it skilfully covers many music genres, with both the musicians and Val putting their own stamp onto everything they play. SHADES OF INDIGO is a smaller version for the more cosy venue!
