Zoë White is a jazz and bossa nova singer whose repertoire ranges from classic standards to the music of Brazil and Latin America. She brings a warm, understated vocal style and a strong feel for melody, lyric and the intimate storytelling at the heart of these songs.
Annie Parker has a flute and isn’t afraid to use it! She brings her arsenal of flutes to performances: concert, alto and bass, which apart from giving a range of timbres to play with also provides plenty of scope for plumbing and U-bend jokes. Annie likes to dispel any notion of the flute as just a sweet and gentle instrument, playing with energy and spontaneity and going full-throttle when required.
