The Laverne Sisters are a 1940's style close harmony group consisting of Nonnie, Gaynor, and Leenie who are all graduates of the the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester. On realising their shared passion for the music of the 40's they decided to form an Andrews Sisters sound combined with western swing and Jump Jive. To add to the line up brother Simon provides exceptional guitar and mandolin skills along with talented swing drummer Dr Mark who accompanies the group for the larger gigs. In addition, the quintet are lucky enough to be lead by charismatic Pete Riley on vocals and double bass, nationally recognised as one of the leading frontmen.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see All your life You were only waiting for this moment to be free.
Blackbird fly blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird fly blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise. ~Lennon & McCartney
