Hilda Clemas has a distinctive vocal and wide dynamic range. Capable of great power, she has a deft touch, imbuing standards such as "Desafinado", "Corcovado", "It's only a Paper Moon", and "I'm beginning to see the Light " with a silky smooth and an occasionally husky edge. When the moment is right - such as Hilda and James' boisterous take on Route 66 - she can really swing in style.

Such assured performances didn't arrive overnight. Born into a Scottish musical family in Dundee, Hilda started singing in bands at the age of 16, fronting jazz funk and soft rock bands before focusing on jazz. Hilda Clemas has performed with amongst others Sir Tim Rice, Transfixion, Pete Allen, Mike Bolton, Trichord, Martin Dale, The Cougars, dance music act Magnetic Soul and 80's Jazz Funk Band Tiamo.

Supporting Hilda will be the articulate and sophisticated keyboard playing of James, with Ralf Dorrell on bass and Eddie Kingdom on drums. This will be an evening of jazz standards sung and played with individual style and superb skill.
