Alicia Hart – Vocals / Flute

Born in London, Alicia has played flute since the age of 7 and performed as principal flautist at the age of 14! As a teenager, Alicia toured with the National Children’s Wind Orchestra and with others playing major venues throughout Britain and across Europe, including the RFH, RAH and the Barbican. A graduate of London’s Trinity College of Music, Alicia majored in classical flute under the guidance of Anna Noakes and Wissam Boustany, in addition to devoting much energy to her first love – jazz and, with the inspiration of Anton Browne, has developed a distinctive and engaging vocal style earning her the attention of jazz audiences across London and the South East and the coveted Rotary Club Musicianship Prize (2003)! With a keen interest in African and Cuban music, Alicia embraces a wide range of jazz styles and is currently recording her own compositions with Rainbow Productions.  With her fresh approach to Jazz, E-MAIL SPECIAL is delighted to welcome Alicia Hart as guest vocalist. A stunning performer, Alicia was with us for three seasons from 2004 to 2006 and we enjoyed every minute!
