Vintage Ruby

Vintage Ruby is a professional Jazz, Blues & Swing singer based in Folkestone, who regularly travels to London and all over the UK and beyond to sing for her clients. Her repertoire covers songs from the 1920s to the present day. Ruby has a beautifully soft jazz voice, reminiscent of the classic jazz and blues singers of the 1930s and 1940s.

She can turn her hand to any vintage themed event, from 1920s Gatsby, 1930s and 1940s Jazz and sing-a-long songs, 1950s Rat Pack and Rock ’n’ Roll to 1960s Pop and Rock songs.

Jazz standards like ‘Fever’ and Cole Porter’s ‘Let’s Do It, Let’s Fall In Love’ are mixed with popular songs like Amy Winehouse’s ‘Valerie’ and Caro Emerald’s ‘That Man’. She also has a good selection of music from most genres including: Jazz, Blues, Swing, Rock ‘n’ Roll, Pop, Motown, Soul, Country, Folk, Disco and Indie from the 1920s right up to the present day. Perfect for vintage style weddings with songs for all ages!

She started singing professionally in 2006 after passing auditions for the Covent Garden and London Underground busking licences. Ruby developed many stage skills and interaction with her ‘audience’ of tourists and commuters. It was there over the years that many people including famous faces passed by and helped give her the encouragement that she was on the right path. This included the singer Boy George who passed by at Leicester Square station saying to her ‘What a beautiful voice!’.

The Dulcettes

The swinging sound of two vintage voices harmonising together to form the Dulcettes. Holly and Victoria first met at the War and Peace Revival 2016. After realising they lived just down the road from one another, the following year they decided to perform a couple of numbers together at the same show. And the rest, as they say, is history! “We think they’re great!”
