VANESSA HAYNES
Originally from Trinidad, where she worked to great acclaim for some years, Vanessa finally made her way to London, which is definitely our gain. She performs a mix of Soul and R&B standards and originals with some Jazz standards thrown in and with her powerful, cultured, voice and commanding stage presence is quite stunning. Not surprisingly her talent has recently been recognised by Van Morrison, with whose band she recently toured and she is currently the lead singer with the iconic Soul/Jazz band “Incognito”. She works with a fabulous six piece band that features some of the country’s finest “groove” players including bassist Paul Carmichael (Flight), Richard Bailey (Incognito) drums and Tim Cansfield (Seal, BeeGees) guitar.
“..chic, sultry singing..stylish and overflowing with promise..her future is guaranteed as a fixture in the soul firmament. Star potential” Musician Magazine
“excellent…powerful voice and unique sound” Soul Brother

Tell a friend about thisWe have just left your club and have to say we thought it was just fantastic! Really great venue, great show (Wayne Hernandez), love the bar, good food, great staff and what lovely clientele! Met people and chatted at random, as well as being with a group of friends, and it made a truly enjoyable evening.
Hideaway is a real treasure of South London, we live in Norbury and can’t wait to come back.
Thank you for running this superlative gig.
