   About Aimee Penman
Classically-trained singer available for wedding/civil ceremonies and corporate functions in and around Edinburgh. I have a light soprano voice (soubrette), which lends itself well to Baroque music and I am comfortable singing in a range of other styles such as jazz, pop and folk. I can provide guitar or piano accompanists for wedding ceremonies or background music, and jazz trio for evening receptions. I enjoy singing in many different styles such as folk, jazz and pop and have recording experience providing vocals for electro/ambient tracks. I am also available for backing vocals session work in and around Edinburgh. My most recent employment was a month-long contract on a cruise ship as part of a voice/guitar duo. I currently sing with an all-female a capella group 'The Wild Myrtles' (www.myspace.com/thewildmyrtles) singing songs from around the world. I have been a member of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra Chorus and Edinburgh International Festival Chorus for 3 years. I have been in various function cover bands, including an ABBA/80s tribute group, peforming around Scotland. My past musical achievements include singing the solo in Scottish Ballet's production of 'The Snowman' for two years, soloist in Faure's Requiem, Vivaldi's Gloria, Rossini's Petite Messe Solenelle with Napier Chamber Choir and soprano in Haydn's Harmonie Mass and Rutter's Requiem with Bearsden Choir. I also offer private singing tuition (enquiries to aimee.penman@talk21.com).

Few more details for Wednesdays ‘Search for a feature artist’

Its a first come first served basis, I'll start taking names and divvying slots from around 8.30.

You’ll get 15 mins to do what you like with.There’s one house guitar plus 3 mics and a stupidly elaborate mixer. But if you have other guitars, i'd ask you to bring a lead.

I've also got a journo mate who is going to do reviews, which will be heavily posted on myspace and any music forums I can muster.

The chosen act will get an hours slot the following week promoted as the ‘feature artist’. The winners going to be judged a lot on crowd response so get your support along too.

I’ve had a quite a few confirmed acts so if you’re keen get down early. Bar 38 - George Street
