Sophie Garner has recently been interviewed on Talk Sport Radio, and has performed many times in Dubai, including the recent launch of Grazia fashion magazine. In September 2006 she is appearing for two nights at Pizza on the Park in London. She has also sung on numerous TV and radio shows, including “Swing Time” for BBC Wales, “Metroland” for Carlton TV, “The Warehouse” for Channel 4, Sky News and Campbell Burnap’s show on Jazz FM. She has performed in a short film with Jack Shepherd called ‘Lipstick’ for which she wrote the theme tune. In addition Sophie has performed for countless sessions and as a featured artist on many period drama productions. Her band has performed at Derry and Southport International Jazz Festival, and corporate clients have included The House of Commons, Ernst & Young, Anderson-Soames, Innovex, Talking Presentations, Sony and HMS Invincible. For the smaller venue, the band can perform as a trio, duo, or just Sophie singing with backing tracks. On the other hand for the larger party, her commercially successful seven-piece band The New Breed, would be perfect. They have just released a new album, “Champagne and False Eyelashes” which has had national airplay and is on sale throughout the country at HMV. The album has received the following reviews in the national press:

The Times
“A great CD. Crisp playing, neat arrangements, great standards, fine new material –and above all a singer who brings every song vividly to life.”
The Observer
“This is a firmly handled debut by this UK-based singer and her small swing-bop quintet.”
Jazzwise
“Hail the New Breed, jazz is back. Having suffered years of musical swipes and mickey-taking, this much-maligned art form is reclaiming itself from the wispy beard and rollneck set and acts like the New Breed are leading the charge……”
