Hi all,
I hope 2024 is treating you all well so far?
New Music is on it’s way!!!
NEW ALBUM: I’ve been busy working on my new album, and I’m really excited about it. This is my first album of original songs, written and composed by solely by myself. I already have a stonking band lined up and Grammy winning producer Jason Miles on board (Miles Davis, Luther Vandross, Aretha Franklin) on board. So keep checking in for more news on this…!!! Exciting times ahead. Meanwhile, it’s a case of hunkering down and graft time!!!
RADIO SHOW: If you haven’t seen it already check out the ‘link’ HERE and in video’s of the fantastic BBC Radio 4 show ‘Soul Music, where I was asked to chat about my version of ‘Ghost Town’ by The Specials, which appears on my album ‘Jazz Just Wants To Have Fun.’ It was such an honour to be part of that show. Such an iconic song. Which I was thrilled to hear they also played. (Check out the album too, if you haven’t heard it. You can stream it on Spotify. You can also buy a CD)!!!
LIVE GIGS: Check ‘Live’ dates for more gig news and get in touch if you would like me to do a gig near you! There are some great dates in the diary and more to come. Hope to see you at one and do say hello!!!
Lots of love to you all,

'The remarkable Beverley Beirne, delivers an engaging 12 song collection of striking melodies given new voice with her third album 'Dream Dancer'. The U.K.rising star's luscious alto vocals play with ease into higher vocal registers on this dynamic set that comes alive with Ella like scat, lighting fast swing, soulful samba, a surprise Brazilian tune and exquisite ballads in this exciting, eclectic album that creates a lasting mark with astonishing musicianship and a voice that you can't stop listening to!'
Dan Oulette (Downbeat and Billboard) Liner Notes
