Marianne McGregor and Paul Harrison

Marianne McGregor is a prominent new voice in the Scottish Jazz Scene. Highly acclaimed ‘Best Vocalist’ at the Scottish Jazz Awards 2021, McGregor continues to gain recognition for her powerful voice, improvising and original songs.

Marianne's 'star' has been on the ascendancy for quite some time now and with accolades such as Scottish Jazz Vocalist of the Year and the 'Danny Kyle Award' at Celtic Connections under her belt, she's been very much in demand as a 'hot ticket' jazz artist.

She has a huge body of material released and already has some touring and international performances under her belt. Highly acclaimed in the UK, Marianne was chosen to represent UK Jazz as a guest of the British Embassy in Havana, Cuba where she performed to a sell-out audience.

Taking inspiration from her great jazz influencers, Marianne has a tone comparable to the likes of Amy Winehouse or Sarah Vaughan, an Ella-like freedom towards improvisation and captures phrasing and emotion with the power of Billie Holiday.
