Claire Martin with the David Newton Trio

Claire Martin is an established tour de force on the UK jazz scene, winning the British Jazz Awards seven times and has been awarded the OBE for her services to jazz.

She has performed all over the world with her trio and worked extensively, and previously visited The Apex, with the late Sir Richard Rodney Bennett in an intimate cabaret duo.

Claire opened the 2015 London Jazz Festival, sang in the 2016 and 2020 Jazz Divas series, sold out Ronnie Scott's to wide acclaim, and has performed 'Just the Two of Us' concerts with Joe Stilgoe at St James Theatre and Pizza Express Jazz Club on Dean Street.

"Our finest jazz singer” - Clive Davis, The Times

Claire is joined by the wonderful David Newton Trio and in demand saxophonist, Alex Garnett. David is the UK’s most highly regarded jazz pianist and is 13 times winner of the Best Pianist in the British Jazz Awards, while Alex has been one of the leading saxophonists in the UK and mainland Europe for over two decades, being instantly recognised by his dark, husky sound.
