Bevvy Sisters

SHETLAND Jazz Club is hosting three concerts by the Edinburgh based Bevvy Sisters later this month.

Originally formed as an offshoot of all-star swing combo The Loveboat Big Band, the Bevvys’ music spans genres from country to jazz, gospel to original indie-pop.

SJC’s own Jeff Merrifield is full of praise: “Mixing equal measures of sweetness and sass, grit and glamour, heartbreak and hilarity, cut with a dash of potent Scottish spirit, the Bevvy Sisters’ radiantly triple-layered voices and artfully wide-ranging repertoire have won fervent acclaim and an ever-swelling fan-base across the UK roots scene.”

He promises: “This trio will thrill, excite, entertain in spades, give you a good time and leave you feeling the happiest you have in a long time. How’s that for an offer? Not to be missed.”

Concerts are at the Scalloway hall on 26 July (8pm) with Beef Cleaver, Islesburgh Community Centre on 27 July (8pm) with Troppo Funk, and a Jazz Brunch and Art Auction featuring the Bevvy Sisters at the Tingwall hall on 28 July, starting at 2pm.
