About Elaine...
ELAINE DELMAR has long been established as a singer of the very highest calibre - with the voice, looks and personality that have captivated audiences wherever she has appeared the world over.
As a singer, Elaine is equally at home whether entertaining a concert audience or performing in the more intimate cabaret/small theatre setting.
In recent years Elaine has been the star vocalist in such touring shows as Let's Do It, saluting the music of Cole Porter and By George, It's Gershwin, a celebration of Gershwin.
Elaine has worked at different times with such jazz giants as Herb Ellis, Benny Carter and Stephane Grappelli.
"Her style is a mixture of Broadway musical punch and jazz-inflected subtlety. She has the belting defiance of a torch singer at times and the knowing raised eyebrow rasp of a blues artist, but also a hushed, confiding intimacy where it is appropriate, it is a blend that invites the widest possible audience." John Fordham The Guardian
"Among the multitude of good jazz singers in Britain today, there is not one who can surpass Elaine Delmar. Few understand the repertoire as well or express it with such dynamic simplicity. When she sings a song as plainly as she can it still emerges gently swinging, imbued with the spirit of jazz. She builds each performance with sure-footed musicianship”- Dave Gelly, Sunday Observer, 9 January 2005
