You will find below a hand-picked selection of the very best Anglophone entertainment acts based on the French Riviera, currently available for weddings and events throughout the South of France.
- Lizzy Parks
Acclaimed British Jazz/Soul singer song-writer Lizzy Parks is the perfect accompaniment for any event. An exciting and innovate performer, Lizzy adds atmosphere and class to any occasion. Signed to UK-based independent record label Tru Thoughts with whom she has released several albums, Lizzy moved from London to Cannes on the French Riviera in 2009. As well as performing her own material at gigs and festivals around Europe, Lizzy has a large repertoire of jazz and soul tracks which she sings at weddings and events accompanied by her fantastic band (available in different formations from duo to quintet). Offering arrangements of well-known standards, Lizzy and her musicians can execute a vast repertoire of music from vocal piano jazz to up tempo swing. In addition to her Jazz Band set up which is absolutely ideal for wedding cocktail receptions, Lizzy can also perform modern songs (with some of her own material if desired) in her own unique style with her guitarist Tom. Lizzy and Tom recently performed at an informal rehearsal dinner I organised for one of my clients and it worked fantastically. Lizzy is really a delight to work with, proving an exemplary level of professionalism at all times.
To contact Lizzy and find out more about the entertainment services she provides, you can email her on info@lizzyparks.co.uk. You can listen to some of Lizzy’s original tracks on her website, on itunes or on her myspace.
- Phly Boyz
Based in the Nice area of the Riviera, the Phly Boyz are a 4 piece, Anglo-American band with double bass, drums, sax and guitar. The Phly Boyz specialise in cocktail and dinner entertainment singing in 5 languages and interacting with guests in a light-hearted humorous manner. The group perform hits from the last 50 years, covering any type of music from classical church music to the Beatles and the Black Eyed Peas. A typical Phly Boyz show consists of three thirty-forty minute sets: first set during the aperitif – jazzy instrumental, second set after the starter – more upbeat sing along going from table to table, and then the last set towards end of dinner – very upbeat full sound sing along and more dance tunes to get the party going. The Ply Boyz normally collaborate with a DJ so that the last song is seamlessly followed by a dance party. The Phly Boyz performed at a wedding I organised recently and were just brilliant. They really created a fun ambiance at the event and were adored by all guests.
Wayne Barratt, the band’s drummer who takes care of bookings and admin can be contacted by email on phlyboyz@gmail.com. For more information and soundbites, you can visit the Phly Boyz website.
