Andy Powell is a modern day jazz singer with a voice capable of singing the most beautiful swing or soulful ballad with the ability to change direction and inject a rough edge to a more up-tempo style when required. Think of a mix between Michael Bublé and Marvin Gaye and Andy falls somewhere in between. Having been singing for over a decade Andy has a sophisticated and unobtrusive style that can enhance any occasion. With a superb sense of humour thrown into the mix he is capable of entertaining a varied audience. Andy has performed with The National Festival Big Band Orchestra at venues such as The Bridgewater Hall in Manchester to smaller more intimate settings. From marquee weddings to large Theatres. Andy has performed his brand of Jazz and Soul standards around the country and is just as comfortable singing to 50 people as he is to 2500 people.

Andy has a client base of many of the top Northwest hotel chains. From the Lowry, Hilton and Midland Hotels in Manchester to some of Cheshire’s most exclusive and beautiful venues such as The Cottons Hotel & Spa (resident singer) Mere Golf & Country club, The Alderley Edge Hotel and and Shriggley Hall to name but a few.

As an MC/Compere Andy is capable of hosting any type of event being the perfect link man auctioneer or general host. Andy is also a resident compere/MC at Manchester United on corporate match days. 

Andy's recent performance for Sir Alex ferguson's private Christmas ball was described as 'Brilliant and thoroughly entertaining' by the man himself. An avid admirer of the swing era, Andy is sir Alex's first choice when it comes to booking a live artist. 

As one of the countries most in demand entertainers Andy takes bookings two to three years in advance and generally has twelve months ahead already booked. Alive Network are the only agency in the UK to offer his services so don't miss out on the opportunity to book this fabulous performer.   

With the latest state of the art EV/Dynacord PA technology Andy can cater for any size of audience and if required can also provide sophisticated back ground music or even act as a DJ for the evening (Andy has over 15 years' experience as a DJ). The consummate professional with an aim to make your evening ‘not just another do’ but an experience to leave you with a smile on your face and the feeling of having had a great night/occasion where you have been thoroughly entertained. One thing is certain and that is if you book Andy Powell you won’t be disappointed.

Pianist Option
Andy can be accompanied by a pianist for many of the swing standards if you wanted a more laid back approach. Ideal for a wedding breakfast or champagne reception as well as something more intimate and stylish.

Female Vocalist Option!
As an optional extra Andy often works with one of the countries most up and coming female Jazz performers. Rosie is a modern day Jazz/Blues/Soul/Motown singer with a unique voice that can captivate any audience.

Whether you are looking for Jazz standards, or modern day classics with an acoustic twist, Rosie can provide it; she performs a vast repertoire of songs from Ella Fitzgerald to The Killers. With experience of performing solo at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall as well as appearances on Channel 5's 'Don'...t stop Believing', Rosie is at home in front of 50 people or 2500 people.

From theatres to weddings and private events, if you require a stylish background singer for a champagne reception or something to get people on the dance floor later in the evening Rosie has the ability and voice to adapt to any environment.

A superb combination to cater for any event and also save you money in the process, why not combine both Andy and Rosie for a great package of music ranging from jazz standards right through to the present day!
