“A bright and auspicious debut. She swings, is confident and has an engaging delivery. What’s not to like?”

John Martin, Jazz Rag

“A very classy debut.”

Dave Gelly - The Observer

“Mellow and stylish”

Clive Davis - Sunday Times

"Unsung heroine of British Jazz - the lucid warmth of her singing is accompanied by her highly accomplished piano playing"

The Jazz Mann

"This first recording could just mark the beginning of much deserved recognition."

Alan Barnes

ENDORSED BY THE ARTS COUNCIL OF ENGLAND and BBC RADIO 3

The upward trajectory of Wendy Kirkland's profile since releasing her debut is nothing short of astounding. 'Piano Divas' has enjoyed extensive press and radio coverage and Wendy is now excited to announce that last week her application for Arts Council of England funding has been approved which will ease the financial burden of the remainder of her extensive tour. Within days DJ Alyn Shipton played Piano Divas album track 'Come Dance With Me' on BBC Radio 3's famous long-running show - 54 years - 'Jazz Record Requests' with an introduction proudly lauding Wendy's 'home-grown' jazz talent.
