Isla

'Armed with a voice that ranges from soft and sweet to a southern soul rasp all in the same verse' - The Leeds Debacle (2013)'.

Unique...
Performing her upbeat soulful interpretations of everything from Pop and RnB/Garage to Indie Rock and Country classics, Isla is guaranteed to make you feel good! With her unique vocal stylings and use of her vocal harmony and loop pedal, she really makes popular songs her own and loves to keep audiences guessing. Past gig highlights have included leading a Beatle Singalong during a Manchester couples wedding breakfast (they were a fun bunch!). As well as working on the Carribbean Princess ship as her Cajon Duo where they worked with a Californian couple to orchestrate a beautiful wedding proposal during their show.

Singalongs? Check. Fancy a dance? Check...
Isla particularly enjoys performing with a focus on crowd interaction, leaving audiences feeling energised, positive and always wanting more when the last set is over. If something low key is more your style, that's also not a problem, Isla has years of experience providing musical ambience at restaurants, 5* hotels and wedding receptions.

Versatile...
Isla has years of experience both entertaining large crowds and performing in more intimate settings. Past performances have included the main stage of The Gibraltar Music Festival and Live At Leeds 2012 as well as, most notably, performing to Tom Jones, Jessie J, Will.I.Am and Danny O'Donaghue on BBC's The Voice.  Not a one trick pony, her vocal abilities see her performing every style thrown at her, not forgetting song requests on the day.

Special requests..
A multi instrumentalist, Isla is able to add an extra sparkle to your wedding day or private event by playing songs acoustically on guitar or, if you fancy something a little different, she can play your chosen song on the piano (see video of 'You got the love'). Isla is also committed to ensuring clients have as much or as little control as they'd like over her set list on the day. Be it writing your own set list from her extensive song list, or, leaving it up to Isla to choose! It's up to you.

Fancy a little more rhythm or even another guitarist?
Isla can play in various set ups such as solo, duo, trio and even full 5 piece band.
