As one of the most powerful voices of the last century, Nina Simone inspired millions and confused critics who tried to categorize her. She brought together music from different cultural backgrounds - jazz, soul, protest songs, blues, folk, light theatre and mixed this with her personal background as a child prodigy classical pianist.

Bringing all these influences to light will be Colette's voice which
moves effortlessly between sweet and sensual, and powerful and gritty. "Colette Henry is a fine new Jazz singer with crystal clear delivery. One to watch." Dermot Rogers, Dublin City FM

Alongside Colette, Johnny Taylor (Piano) Andrew Csibi, (Double Bass) and Dominic Mullan (Drummer) create musical unity and powerful atmosphere that brings a freshness to the well-known Nina Simone numbers.

A real treat of an evening, best experienced live.

"Colette Henry is a fine new Jazz singer with crystal clear delivery and empathy for classic songs. One to watch." - Dermot Rogers, Dublin City FM
