Tricity Vogue

Bio:

"Cheeky, soulful, a little bit blue, and a whole lot of fun" Time Out London Critics' Choice

"Sparkles as brightly as the glitter on her eyes... And boy, can the Blue Lady sing!" **** The Skinny

"Truly hilarious" Musical Theatre Matters

"Irresistible" The Erotic Review

Celebrated London-based cabaret diva Tricity Vogue has been putting her own offbeat twist on vintage jazz glamour for the last six years. As well as painting herself blue for her highly original and "refreshingly bizarre" solo cabaret show, she also hosts and runs a plethora of cabaret nights for fellow lovers of her favourite instrument, the ukulele, and co-chairs The Blue Stocking Society, a burlesque cabaret for thinking women and the men who love them..





Tricity is so unlucky in love that she was dumped by her entire Big Band: that's twenty two men at the same time. But now she's found some new friends to play with. Tricity Vogue romps her way through swing, latin, and blues as she revisits old favourites, gives unexpected songs a jazz twist, and introduces you to some tongue-in-cheek originals that Miss Vogue denies are inspired by her own romantic misadventures.



"Her voice is of a lovely rich tone with hints of Marilyn Monroe creeping in and her songs are saucy yet catchy, keeping you smiling and wanting more."
Remote Goat

"Real sweetness with a surprising edge"
Clapham or Bust

"Extremement agreable"
London Le Cool

The world of Tricity Vogue

Larger-than-life jazz vamp Tricity Vogue is the creation of writer and singer Heather Tyrrell, who invented her alter ego after a number of bruising romantic encounters prompted her to start composing songs about her misadventures. Tricity burst onto the London scene in 2003 with a philosophical ditty about a one-night-stand, "Well I didn't want you anyway'.

She didn't yet have a band, or even an accompanist, but she didn't let a little thing like that stop her, and sang a capella at performance poetry nights. Proving the truth of the philosophy "if you sing it, they will come," sure enough within months she was performing with a full band behind her, thanks to the musical genius of pianist Miss Connie Vanderlay, who provided the voluptuous jazz chords to complement her words and melodies.

Every jazz diva needs a good gown, and Tricity acquired a suitably dazzling wardrobe thanks to the flamboyant genius of designer and dressmaker Stephane St Jaymes.

What's more, Miss Vogue has also taken to wandering the cabaret clubs of London, troubador-like, with her small pink ukelele - so keep your eyes open for a guerilla glamour appearance near you...

"In matters of the heart, a watched kettle never boils. However, this is strictly a metaphor: never admit you actually know how to boil a kettle" Tricity Vogue

Miss Vogue strenuously denies the rumours that she is named after a fridge. The fact that her friend once had a 1960s fridge with "Tricity Vogue" written on the front is sheer coincidence xxx

Members:

Tricity Vogue sometimes plays solo and sometimes with a phalanx of fabulous musicians, including guitar and ukulele genius Martin Wheatley, long-time collaborator Rosa Conrad, and Scottish Jazz Awards-winning drummer Stu Ritchie, to name but three.

Influences:

Julie London is Tricity's heroine - along with legendary sirens Doris Day, Astrud Gilberto, Peggy Lee, Dusty Springfield and Annie Lennox. Tricity also owes much to the many great musicians she numbers among her old flames. But of course she cant name names.

Sounds Like:

A vintage jazz sound with its tongue firmly in its cheek. Think Peggy Lee after a few too many cocktails...
