Professional Lunchtime Concert : Isobel Gathercole
Hemsted Park, Centenary Hall, Cranbrook Road, TN17 4AA
Friday 6th November 2026
Hemsted Park is once again delighted to invite you to attend the following free concert, which is part of the Benenden School calendar.
Isobel is a jazz singer based in London. She trained in jazz vocals at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and has been performing at many of London's top jazz venues since arriving on the scene in 2014; including Ronnie Scott's, the Vortex and the Spice of Life. Isobel developed her love of jazz and the Great American songbook at a very young age and started singing seriously at the age of 11. Since then she has had the opportunity to sing with ensembles of all shapes and sizes from her vocal/guitar duo to playing with a full sized studio orchestra in a tribute to the work of Jeremy Lubbock alongside fellow soloists Lianne Carroll, Joe Stilgoe and Tommy Blaize. She has also explored big band singing through her work as a vocalist with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra, in addition to small group work with her own quartet. Her debut album 'Day Dream', in collaboration with arranger and composer Colin Skinner, is a love letter to the legendary albums of Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra. It was released on the Trapeze Label in April 2022 and is available for purchase online. Joining Isobel in her quartet is Dae Hyun Lee (Drums), James Buckham (organ) and Chris Valentine (trombone).
They’ll be performing songs from the Great American Songbook - a mix of jazz standards and well-known songs from shows.
