Profile
The fabulously talented lead vocalist Carla ViegasMay exudes real passion in the songs she performs, and the bands live shows are now an exciting mix of original takes on swing standards, alongside hard driving, emotionally charged, sophisticated blues (both covers and original compositions). All three saxes, along with the two trumpets and trombone contribute swinging solos, whilst the superb rhythm section always guarantees a packed dance floor.
Blue Harlem have been invited to perform regularly at Festivals and private parties Worldwide, including charity balls at Highgrove House for The Prince’s Trust and more recently as one of the main highlights at the ‘Cornbury Music Festival’ in Oxfordhire, as well as proving to be a huge hit at the first ‘Tower of London Music Festival’ last July. They are regulars at London’s World-famous ‘100 club’ as well as at ‘Live on the Park at Pizza on the Park’.Since Blue Harlem launched their album ‘Talk to Me’ in September 2005, they have been greatly received throughout the media. Interviews and tracks from the new album have been featured on Michael Parkinson’s ‘Sunday Supplement show’, ‘The Paul Jones Show’ (both on BBC Radio 2), on Smooth FM by Sarah Ward and Campbell Burnap, as well as LBC Radio’s Sandi Toksvig programme live in the studio.

London Swing Dance Society "Excellent! We all had a great time, thanks very much!"
Z Lawson, Birmingham University Royal Naval Unit
"The band was very good indeed; the singer was exceptional and had power and good voice. All the band members especially their leader was courteous, very pleasant and easy to work with. Please thank them on our behalf and if I ever need a band again I would certainly reconsider them."
S Madon
"...are guaranteed to get your adrenaline flowing with their brand of high energy big band swing and R&B that would have been equally at home at the Apollo or the Savoy in the 40's as it is today"
