Ruby Robinson 'The Jazz Diva of Our Era'

The Pheasantry (Chelsea)

A rising talent in the UK’s live music scene, this young lady is one exceptional performer! Ruby draws great influence from the iconic divas of Jazz including Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Blossom Dearie and Peggy Lee. She is well-known for her fantastic stage presence and flair, her excellent stylistic technique of women beyond her years, and her strong, warm tone. With her repertoire inspired from over 100 years of music, her passion for the Great American Song Book brings a refreshing, traditional and finessed approach to audiences with a touch of glamour!

'For over a decade, Ruby has performed on stages all over the country including prestigious London venues such as The Crazy Coq’s (sold out in 2021 & 2024), West End’s Cafe de Paris and Le QuecumBar Brasserie, to venues abroad such as Swing 46 Jazz and Supper Club, New York City!

Ruby’s story began aged sixteen where she landed a lead vocalist role in The Melvin Beddow Big Band, which led her to joining The Glenn Miller Story UK Tour as a lead and group vocalist. Since then, she has toured around the UK with several Big Bands performing on great stages including HQ and Ambassador Theatre Groups, sold out multiple London venues, featured in various festivals, organised and choreographed cabarets as a Bluecoat for Pontin's Holiday Camps, as well as hosted and performed at several private, corporate and communal events. She also featured regularly as a Guest Vocalist at The Big Band Blitz 1940’s Gala which was featured on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing!

After suffering an injury in the Autumn of 2021, last summer Ruby returned back to stages taking them by storm, featuring as a Headline act Upstair’s at Ronnie Scott’s, and selling out The Crazy Coq’s at the beginning of the year! She continues to perform regularly around Central London and the UK, and hopes to release original music and a Live Album with her Quintet in 2024!

After selling out The Pheasantry in both 2020 and 2021, we welcome Ruby and her band back to swing you through your summer - an act that will not disappoint!
