About this event

LOUISE MESSENGER IS AN ACCLAIMED JAZZ VOCALIST ORIGINALLY FROM AUSTRALIA, NOW BASED IN LONDON. WITH A DYNAMIC AND SMOKEY VOICE, LOUISE LOVES TO ENTERTAIN AND CONNECT WITH HER AUDIENCES. INSPIRED BY THE LIKES OF CARMEN MCRAE, ELLA FITZGERALD, KEELY SMITH AND THE BOSWELL SISTERS, LOUISE AND HER SWINGING QUARTET INTERPRET WELL-LOVED STANDARDS AND LESSER-KNOWN GEMS FROM THE CLASSIC AMERICAN SONGBOOK. "Messenger is a singer of almost impossible talent and class" ~ Glam Adelaide "Louise Messenger is a superb performer - she's funny, energetic, sassy, talented, engaging, and has a stunning voice" ~ The Upside News . COVER CHARGE: £6 + Free Thursday Throwdown set from 23:30 - 1:15 thursday throwdown So that is Thursday Throwdown exactly? Each Thursday after 11pm, we’re switching it up at Nightjar. Firstly there will be a free, late set of live music from 11.30 pm. But, better than that, thanks to Don Julio, we’re going to drink like it’s 2010! Our special late-night menu is a nod to the days (and prices!) of when Nightjar first opened, fifteen years ago. Ruby Robinson has performed on stages all over the UK, including prestigious London venues such as Upstairs at Ronnie Scott’s, The Crazy Coqs, West End’s Café de Paris, and The Pheasantry Jazz Club! She draws great influence from the iconic jazz divas, including Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Blossom Dearie and Peggy Lee! Known for her fantastic stage presence and flair, her excellent stylistic technique, and her strong, warm tones, she brings a new, timeless approach to her favourite tunes from the Great American Songbook. Her shows are full of personality, and her passion for the music brings a refreshing, traditional and finessed approach to performances – a night not to be missed! Book
