Claire A.M. Daly

Hailed as one of the exciting new voices on the Scottish jazz scene, Irish singer Claire Daly takes a fresh approach to jazz singing. As well as familiar favourites played in unfamiliar ways, sets can include anything from vocal takes on the music of Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Charles Mingus or Miles Davis (to name a few); free improvisation over traditional folk melodies; and tunes sung in Italian, French, Portuguese or even Gaelic. More recent shows have seen her unveil some of her own compositions, with lyrics taking a tongue-in-cheek look at life... sung in the jazz language from the perspective of a thirtysomething who finds herself in a very similar but hugely different land... As well as performing around Edinburgh, she has performed in the Edinburgh Jazz Festival and the Glasgow Jazz Festival, and Pizza Express (Soho) in London
