LOUISE CLARE MARSHALL

With a passion for music from a very early age, Louise won a place at Chetham's School of Music in Manchester in 1989, studying piano and joining the Chamber choir conducted by Mike Brewer, where he gave Louise the chance to conduct the choir. She joined The National Youth Choir of Great Britain in 1995, and wrote many gospel arrangements for them, which are still sung worldwide today.

In 1992, Louise then won a scholarship to The Guildhall School of Music and Drama, studying piano with Joan Havill. In her spare time there, Louise started to sing with function bands and join the world of session singing, and hasn't looked back since.

She performs with several function bands singing Aretha Franklin Songbook, Rock with 'The Staxs', Jazz, Pop, R'n'B and Classical, occasionally playing the Organ for Church Services. In 2006, Louise sang with Beverley Knight supporting 'Take That' throughout their UK Tour, singing and playing keyboards with 'Roxy Music' on their European Tour in July and joined 'The Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Band' as a soloist on their Winter Tour along with Ruby Turner and has sung backing vocals for Lulu, Marc Almond and this Summer, Dave Edmunds.

As well as having a substantial resume of live performing Louise is also in demand in the recording studio. She has recently released her Debut album “Wait for you” featuring fresh takes on classics such as “I wanna dance with somebody” as well as some stunning originals.
