I had to search the internet for a decent pic of the brilliant Hannah Hay, singer, who sang in a lovely red dress barefoot, and she was backed by an excellent band. This was by far the most understated and engaging performance I went to. There was a standing ovation at the end.

Wow! What a show. Honestly the highlight of my fringe experience. I’m not usually a fan of jazz but the vocals and band performance at this show are next level. Apparently they’ve only got two shows left, so get your tickets asap!

Went to this show last night - it was brilliant. I loved the story telling of divas through the ages, accompanied by a band of really talented musicians playing great music. It was 45 minutes of musical memories, definitely go and see this show

Excellent evening ! The singer has a beautiful voice and the fact that each instrument had somehow a solo was great! We also like the little story telling in between the songs - recommend the show for a chill and nice evening

This structure combined with the dimmed lighting design for ‘Divas of Jazz’, makes for a deeply atmospheric viewing experience, evoking the feeling of a jazz club in the heart of Edinburgh’s Hill Square.
