KIKI DEVILLE

Be not bedazzled by her glittering smile, or captivated by her comedic timing, yes, a woman of large ‘talents’ she may be, but don’t let them detract from the incredible voice that lies beneath. Australian-born Miss Kiki DeVille (aka Kristianne Robinson) attributes her flawless and polished performances to over 25 years of professional international music industry experience. https://www.kikideville.com

SCARLETT DAGGERS

This rock’n’roll redhead will get you hot under the collar with her sizzling stage presence and megawatt smile. From a flag-wielding greaser-girl to a B movie Cobra Queen and even Robin Hood Scarlett loves to inject a sense of fun into her femme fatale.

With over 17 years’ experience on the cabaret circuit, Scarlett has performed across the UK and Europe and produces regular shows in Nottingham, Derby, Birmingham, Cardiff, Grimsby and Leeds. http://www.scarlettdaggers.com
