About Me
I have been a Vocalist since the age of 17. I have sung professionally in many bands and have toured the country numerous times. I also have a love of the guitar and I currently play and teach the guitar to individuals and groups within schools, colleges and educational centres - Please note: I am not accepting any new pupils for guitar tuition, my timetable is fully booked at present, but thank you and good luck to all who have enquired.
I have had an interest in music for as long as I can remember. My Mother used to sing so maybe I inherited it from her! As I entered my mid 20's my music taste widened and I started to listen to a greater range of styles.
My Brother gave me a guitar at an early age so learning to play only deepened my interest.
SWING BLITZ LOUIS
I am very fortunate to have a wonderful Fiancee with whom I can deeply share my vintage and musical interests. My Fiancee and I collect vintage clothing and ephemera.
We both love the music of the 1930's and 40's infact even going back to the 1920's. We have a fabulous CD collection together, Al Bowlly and Artie Shaw being the top of our charts.
We both wear 1930's and 40's original clothing on most days and my Fiancee' and I can be seen in Sainsburys doing the weekly shop, she - in full 1920's flapper outfit on occasions! We certainly acheive some strange looks but most people are very interested and come to us to ask more.
Me at Bletchley Park in the Library
I have sang with various successful bands from blues to swing and have enjoyed them all, and although I still love a broad spectrum of music from very early classical to therapeutic meditive sounds, my heart and vocal niche lay within the beautiful, romantic sounds of the 1930's and 40's.
Because of my reputation and style of voice I was approached to sing with an international big band, namely The Memphis Belle Swing Orchestra. I thoroughly enjoyed this part of my career. Some time after I was asked to sing at our friend's wedding in France. It was a wonderful occasion, the vintage song's of the 30's and 40's really added to the atmosphere in the chateux. I developed a self contained act for this and was fortunate to gain many bookings from this event then things just snowballed!
My reputation as a Swing Vocalist has spread far and wide and I travel widely. I have performed in Europe at various public and private events and parties.
I have appeared on BBC radio and local radio shows singing and been interviewed about my vintage act many times.
The songs of this era mean so much. I find the war years a time of great sorrow but even greater love, reflected like a beacon in the dark - long live love and music!
