Live Performance
Jazz, Swing, Big Band.
A Jazz and Swing Act based in London, UK, Ruby Robinson and her Quintet are the perfect touch of vintage chic to any event! From hosting to simply performing at your occasion, from Dinner Dances to Background Music – this sensational Act is sure to be the perfect pick!
With easy listening Jazz Standards, outstanding covers from Scott Bradlee’s ‘Postmodern Jukebox’, timeless Big Band tunes to Motown Classics and Present Day Pop – with their wide repertoire from the 1920’s to the present day, there is always something to satisfy any taste for any client!
The Act is led by their lead singer, Ruby Robinson.
Ruby has performed on stages all over the UK including as a Backing Vocalist upstairs at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London, to venues abroad such as Swing 46 Jazz Club near Times Square, New York. She has toured around the UK with several Big Bands performing on great stages including HQ and Ambassador Theatre Groups, organised and choreographed cabarets as a Bluecoat for Pontins Holiday Camps, as well as hosted many Open Mic Nights, Charity Events and Private Functions. She is known to have fantastic stage presence, a versatile repertoire and possesses a strong, warm voice with stylistic techniques way beyond her years!
Colchester Castle Park is very lucky to contain a Victorian bandstand. This is used through the summer by traditional silver bands and some more contemporary artists playing more modern music.
There is nothing better on a sunny afternoon than packing a picnic, laying down a rug on the grass that surrounds the bandstand and then enjoying you picnic while relaxing listening to the music.
You don’t even need to take your own picnic as the bandstand is located in the upper castle park close to the Cafe in the Park. This means you can go and get some take-away teas or coffees together with an ice cream and, if you are lucky, find an empty bench close to the bandstand. Another option is to use one of the tables laid out by the cafe for their take-away customers.
