I'm 36, experienced performer, can play to backing tracks, can read notation
Description
My background is in Rock music, though I'm comfortable playing pop, funk and soft jazz.
I've a keen eye for detail, with a calm and professional attitude.
I can read music, and I've experience performing to backing tracks and click tracks.
I'm a Music Tech graduate, I have access to logic so I can create and edit my own backing tracks. I'm an experienced sound, lighting and video engineer so can help with setting up events.

Event Location: Berry Farm, Cotswolds
Event Type: Wedding
13th August 2023
Gemma and the Voice Box took charge of ALL the music of our wedding. They set up sound and a solo guitarist for the ceremony, then three of them played a chilled jazz set for reception drinks, then SIX of them gave us 2 phenomenal sets after dinner getting everyone dancing from every age group and finally they even offered to dj our late night disco. From the second they arrived in the morning they quietly set up, sorted the best location for their horse box stage and speakers, and were super friendly and caring throughout. Gemma is simply a star. You won’t find better vocals anywhere in the UK and her band are an incredible unit of sax, guitar, keys and drums, playing post-modern jazz, with covers of singers from every decade of the last 70 years!
They were passionate, skilled and affordable. What else could you ask for?

As a wedding photographer I encounter a lot of bands but this lot stopped me in my tracks… wow! Not only brilliant choices in music, but they were so friendly, professional and not a single guest could stand still. Gemma has an incredible voice and you can tell she loves what she does… the band is having a good time and that is infectious. From their music, their talent, their look, and their setup I would and will recommend them to any couple.
