Short Description

Jazz, Swing and Modern Easy Listening Vocalist

*Vintage Style Singer & Entertainer *Authentic Vintage Style in both sound and look *Over 15 years professional Experience *Gives the same performance in front of Dozens as she does Thousands! Miss Holiday Swing, or Holly as she's more commonly known, is a Jazz & Swing Vocalist from the heart of Kent, in England. Her latest album, "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" reached Number 6 in the iTunes Jazz Charts (quite the achievement for an unsigned artist) and she was also voted "Best Live Stream Performance" for the whole of the UK through the Book Entertainment Awards 2021. Holly studied Musical Theatre first at The Southern Theatre Arts Centre and then at The American Musical Theatre Academy in London. A degree that she feels gives her the extra pizzazz in her performances today! She's often told she performs from head to toe. After college, Holly joined one of the show teams aboard Aida Cruises. A real career highlight and where Miss Holiday Swing found her (sea) legs! As one of the lead vocalist on board she had to create a solo show and she could think of nothing better than showcasing her talents as a Vintage Style Singer. When she came back to dry land she decided to pursue the act Miss Holiday Swing further and firmly secured her place as a Wartime tribute singer across the UK. Fast forward 7 years and she has now expanded her repertoire immensely, dedicating her career to the music from the 1920's to the 2020's, but always performing with her retro flare! She's been lucky enough to sing at prestigious events and venues such as The War & Peace Revival, The Twinwood Festival, Cahoots, Mr Fogg's, Saga Cruises and for The Belmond British Pullman! Not to mention she created her own online show during the 2020 lockdown called "Tea, Chat & Songs" which not only won her an award, but also led her to livestream a performance for Google in China!

What to expect

With over 15 years professional experience, Miss Holiday Swing gives you Authentic Vintage Style. Her voice resonates with the romantic nature of the swing & jazz era's but, being a keen Lindy Hopper herself, she knows those tunes to get your toes tapping and people up dancing! And nothing pleases her more than seeing a room full of people dancing the night away. Complete with the Fashion of the Hollywood Era's, Miss Holiday Swing can cater to your special requirements, adding a touch of glamour & nostalgia to make your event go down a storm!

A vintage singer who sings through many decades of music, 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and modern day songs but with a vintage jazzy twist to them inspired by the likes of American group Postmodern Jukebox. Musical and Disney songs are also part of her repertoire! Miss Holiday Swing really sings true to the 1940’s style and would have been a world wide start if around at the time. It’s not just her voice that takes you back in time, she really puts in effort with her wonderful Victory Rolls, her makeup and a wide range of attire to really complete the look. A must have vocalist at any vintage event.

Birthday Party

Miss Holiday Swing performed at my 40’s style birthday picnic and definitely made the day. Amazing voice and fab choice of songs which helped everyone get into the 1940’s party spirit. My mum in particular was bopping and jiving throughout. Thanks for making my 30th birthday perfect!

Holly has been singing for us over several years at our 1940’s event. Holly not only has a voice of a 1940’s angel, but she really looks the part as well. Even when not singing and taking a break Holly mingles with the crowd and we had excellent feedback from our guests to say that they could sit and listen to Holly all and reminisce about the good ole days! We would never hesitate to book Holly and we are very much looking forward to booking her for our next event. She always accommodates our needs.
