'What an amazing song and voice, tenderly delivered with deep meaning and lovely expression. I admire your way of connecting with your voice and the audience. Truly heartfelt'.
Laura Long holds residencies in two London venues. Hosting live jazz nights is also a weekly event, with a jazz jam once a month, and bookings with some of the most prestigious jazz instrumentalists and singers in the UK.
'Jazz at Solo is one of London jazz scene's best kept secrets. Passionate and exceptionally talented vocalist Laura Long has created a sense of walking into a hip New York Jazz Club. With an abundance of established performers and up and coming vocalists performing alongside some of the UK's finest musicians, I don't think it will remain a secret for much longer!'. Kelly Dickson
Laura Long is also available as a quartet or trio. Having a wide and diverse repertoire means she can adapt to playing in many different settings. Laura is very sensitive to the needs of the audience - whether it's unobtrusive background music that is required for diners, or something more performance oriented - with big heartfelt ballads, smokey blues, lively uptempo swing or bossa nova tunes to make a party go with a swing. Laura will call songs to reflect the mood, so whether it's a corporate event, a wedding, a restaurant or party, every set will be tailored to suit the occasion.
'Laura can adapt and give an excellent performance every time, with a voice that gets into your soul and plays the heartstrings!'. Dee Diamond
