Frances and her band perform regularly to sell-out crowds in London. Her live show features her genuinely warm stage presence along with a voice and style that are uniquely her own. Her set effortlessly weaves originals and classics with flavours of jazz, blues, soul, singer-songwriter and a broadly adult contemporary appeal. This special event will also feature some of London’s most talented musicians. As well as Frances on vocals and piano, the show will include:

Rob Updegraff on guitar

Tom Mason on bass

Saleem Raman on drums

Frances has developed a growing international fan base with songs inspired by personal experiences that connect deeply with her audience. She’s currently working on a new album with Grammy Award winning producer and engineer Cameron Craig (Adele, Katie Melua).

“Frances’ music is a river of original and heartfelt material, truly a creative force as a genuine contemporary songwriter.” Matt Bailey / Fine Music 102.5 FM
