Lucy is the kind of singer that you don't meet very often. The "real deal", you might well feel the throwback Parisiene jazz roots to her if you pass her in the street. Always chic and stylish, she nonetheless has the kind of individuality that makes you look a second time to study harder. Isn't that a certain"je ne sais quoi?"

Her natural vocal talent and interest in singing from a young age has given her a flawless soaring vocal tone. She shows the delicacy and the grit of the truly great Jazz singers, her quality of tone never takes a rest for the sake of the power or clarity of the note.

Lucy's weapon of choice is the Gibson Echoplex. There are many acts in the acoustic sphere that use multi layered music through a series of delay pedals. The Echoplex is the best and most versatile of them and Lucy's supreme singing ability means that she gets to play with recording studio quality samples every time! She creates her own rich choral backing over a series of bars and then adds a light and ephemeral melody over it all. In this way, she puts the whole song together with her voice and the audience, riveted to hear more of this angelic chorus lap her up every time. Add to that spontaneous bursts of improvised tap dancing...

It's not just blind chance that Lucy makes such easy watching, her career on stage started in musicals, such as Cats, Follies, Cabaret and many independant productions, including Invade My Privacy, written by the legendary Beat poet, Fran Landesman, who's lyrics she has used in her own material (Feet, Better Way) her background includes a long a varied carreer in some of the best dance companies in the world, most notably, the West End percussion show Stomp who she's worked all over the world with since 1996

"Sublime Lucy Dixon, English Betty Blue, exudes laidback poppyfield dropout with a heavy twist of cool Parisian jazz pop, performed with a sensual delivery." BIG ISSUE July 04
