‘Sass and Brass’ with her Mighty Mini Big Band. Expect a velvet-voiced pick and mix of swinging, bluesy ballads and iconic songs, alongside a hefty dose of sizzling brass. It celebrates some of the ‘Vintage Vegas’ sounds that have inspired Georgina’s unique talent, from Louis and Ella to Ray Charles, Sinatra and Adele.

Her band features some of the most incredible musicians in the UK today. The band may be mini, but it sure is mighty!
