Dear Friends,

What a music-filled June I have in store!

I’m delighted to be performing at a variety of events this month, from jazz gigs and festivals to big band performances. If you're free and fancy some live music, it would be wonderful to see you.

Here’s where you can find me:

Saturday 13th June – Crouch End Festival
I’ll be singing a few tunes at the festival at around 2.00pm. A lovely community event with plenty to see and enjoy.

Saturday 13th June – The Stage, Palmers Green
A jazz evening performance at 8.00pm. Always a pleasure to perform in such an intimate setting.

Sunday 21st June – Clapham Common Bandstand
I’ll be performing with the Big Swing Band at 2.00pm. Bring a chair, enjoy the atmosphere, and let the music transport you!

Friday 26th June – Crossover Jazz Rooms: Jazz & Blues Night
I’ll be singing a few tunes during the evening, and we are delighted to feature the wonderful Lily Dior as our headline artist. If you love jazz and blues, this promises to be a fantastic night.

I hope to see some familiar faces over the coming weeks. Please do come and say hello if you're attending any of these events—it always means so much to see friends and supporters in the audience.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

If you enjoy my music, I would be very grateful if you could share this email with friends, family or colleagues who may also enjoy live jazz. Personal recommendations are still the very best way to help live music reach new audiences.

Anyone who would like to join my mailing list can simply email me at:

Joyful Jazz — Pizza Express Jazz Club, Dean Street, 17th May 2025

Well, what a gig that was!

I've been looking forward to this one for a while, and I'm so happy to say it absolutely delivered. The room was sold out, the band were on fire, and honestly? They made my job very easy. There's nothing quite like walking out onto a stage knowing you've got brilliant musicians behind you — it gives you a freedom and a confidence that the audience can feel.

The programme was something I'd put a lot of thought into — a mix of jazz standards I truly love, alongside some contemporary songs that we approached in a slightly different way, giving them a fresh feel while keeping the soul of them intact. I wanted the afternoon to feel like a journey, with the songs connected by a thread of storytelling, a bit of humour, and — I hope — a lot of honesty. From the comments I received afterwards, it seems that's exactly what people took away from it, which means the world to me.

And then there was the encore. Lovely Day. The moment the band kicked into it, something shifted in the room — people were up on their feet, dancing, singing, just completely lost in it. That's the moment I'll carry with me for a long time.

It's fair to say everybody left Pizza Express Dean Street with a smile on their face. I know I did.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who came. Your warmth, your energy, and your gorgeous feedback made the whole afternoon absolutely magical. I'm already hoping there'll be a next time! ��

And here's what some of you had to say...

" Professional, enjoyable, warm — and boy, can they swing!!!"

"Wonderful performance — first class musicianship at a great venue."

"A wonderful and joyful performance from a consummate singer and bandleader."

"Winnie and her band were absolutely wonderful! Her singing is soulful and beautiful and the atmosphere was so joyful. A lot of fun was had between Winnie and her band members which created such an enjoyable vibe in the audience. We'll be back!"

"I actually could not stop smiling. The setting, music and chemistry of the band was simply wonderful. Winnie, you certainly exuded so much playful joy — it made me so happy to watch you do something you clearly love."

"Fabulously entertaining — you were on top form and your backing musicians were absolutely great."

"Ms Greer had the audience in the palm of her hands... mesmerised! Her vocals smooth, with clarity and richness. The intimacy of the venue created such a joyful vibe. What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday!"

"The singer and the band were superb. The storytelling was spot on. The venue was intimate and friendly."

"A fantastic, well put-together show that lived up to its name — Joyful Jazz. The way you reimagined some of the songs was absolutely fantastic. Well done!"

"Amazing Sunday experience."

Celebration time!

My first jazz singing course!

Wed, 08 May 2019 20:21:46 GMT

Well, there I was about 20 years ago …keen naïve and eager to learn about this new idiom called Jazz. After moaning to one of my dear school friends who was an accomplished jazz pianist , that I needed something different musically in my life after several years of singing on choirs, she suggested going to a residential jazz course for a week at Cranfield University. This was a daunting prospect but I summoned up my courage and thought to myself ..well if I don’t like it I can leave at any time.

So Sunday afternoon I arrive with very few musical chart (which were not in my key because I hadn’t realised that aspect yet!). We all gathered the main lecture theatre singers and musicians and we were asked to come down the front to either sing or play so that we could be grouped together by level of ability.

That was scary enough but I managed it!.
