Listen to Christine Tobin interviewed on the Kmfm Network Evening Show by Nigel Ansell (Thursday 23rd August 2011)
Irish-born singer-songwriter Christine Tobin spends her time between London and the Kent coast. Her style, although rooted in jazz, is steeped in the singer-songwriter tradition and draws on a broad range of influences from West Africa to Brazil. Her sound is rich, authentic and deeply expressive and was described by the Guardian as “Tobin’s 24 carat voice” while praising her both for the poetry of her compositions and her golden voice. Much of her repertoire is self-penned and Tobin has received many accolades for her skills as a writer and arranger. Romantic and radical, Christine is a musical free spirit who blurs the lines to create her own unique style that is streetwise and eclectic. In 2008 she was named Best Vocalist at the BBC Jazz Awards. She has recently been nominated for the London Jazz Award 2011 at the London Festival Fringe!
The line-up of Christine’s band:
