| With four albums of original material
to her name, Fiona has made countless appearances on Welsh language television
and radio. Fiona has travelled the world singing and playing the piano,
working in places such as The Middle East, Scandinavia and for five years,
she was the resident singer/pianist on board P&O’s legendary liner,
the SS Canberra. The FAB Jazz Quartet formed in September 2003 and they have been the resident jazz quartet at Newbury Manor ever since, entertaining audiences at the monthly ‘Jazz at the Manor’ evenings. They recorded their first album ‘New Life’ in October 2004 and are donating all the proceeds to a Newbury based charity for disabled children. From Ellington to Gershwin, from Cole Porter to Fiona’s own original songs, they are able to augment the sound for larger functions by adding a sax player or guitarist. A typical performance would be 3 x 45 minute sets for an evening function with pre-recorded music during the breaks where appropriate. PA and lighting is provided for events with up to 200 guests.

| "Nicky and I would like to say
a really big thank you to you and your trio for what can only be described
as a ‘FAB’ evening’s entertainment at our wedding reception.
We have received so many compliments from wedding guests for both our choice
of venue and music for the day. Having been a keen jazz fan for a number
of years, I was really looking forward to having live music at the wedding.
You and your trio gave us a night of fantastic jazz music, thanks so much
for learning those Stacey Kent numbers in such a short period of time they
were greatly appreciated .. we were delighted to see so many people of all
different ages dancing and enjoying themselves, having been to weddings
where a DJ is playing naff music really loud and no one is dancing. Seeing
everyone having such a good time made it a very special evening for us both." Peter and Nicky Sturt “As well as covering well-loved classics, Fiona also performs her own numbers. She is a brilliant entertainer, engaging her audience and creating a memorable atmosphere. The highly professional and chic style of the quartet is in keeping with our hotel’s high standards and Fiona has gathered a regular following for these evenings, all of whom thoroughly enjoy her performances.” Newbury Manor Hotel |

| Cry me a river My funny valentine Blue moon Unforgettable When I fall in love Just the way you look tonight When sunny gets blue A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square Summertime Every time we say goodbye Someone to watch over me Autumn leaves Smile (though your heart is aching) Embraceable you The very thought of you Can’t help lovin’ that man of mine Bewitched, bothered and bewildered That ole’ devil called love The nearness of you What are you doing the rest of your life? Embraceable you Somewhere over the rainbow Girl from Ipanema One note samba So nice Wave This masquerade I’ve got you under my skin So in love Night and day Almost like being in love Goody goody Route 66 This can’t be love L.o.v.e. S’wonderful Orange coloured sky You make me feel so young Recipe for making love Let’s face the music and dance They can't take that away from me The lady is a tramp Let there be love A foggy day Bad, bad Leroy Brown The second time around Don’t get around much any more Let’s do it (let’s fall in love) Straighten up and fly right Our love is here to stay Paper moon Somebody loves me My baby just cares for me Mame Fever My secret love Nobody does it like me I wish I were in love again My heart stood still It’s all right with me Shall we dance? Lullaby of birdland Fly me to the moon Slow boat to China Always true to you darlin’ in my fashion You’re the top |
