Vocal Performances

Uplifting, timeless covers and heartfelt originals: a melodic blend of keyboard and voice.

Esther Caws will ease you into a perfect lunchtime at the Talbot Hotel.

Kara is a very talented and versatile local vocalist who has been performing from a young age. Kara covers a wide range of music from modern day classics to golden oldies and likes to throw in a few musical theatre numbers as well as some modern pop. By day, she works as a mathematics tutor, and by night, she performs as a singer. After welcoming her baby in late 2025, Kara returns to the stage to share her voice with audiences during the Oundle Fringe Festival. You will be wonderfully entertained!

The Jively Sisters are a vibrant vocal trio bringing the magic of the swing and boogie-woogie eras back to life. Daisy, Elly, and Polly, accompanied by talented pianist Kate, blend their voices in rich, close harmonies inspired by the golden age of vintage jazz, performing beloved classics like Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree and Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy. With lively rhythms, playful charm, and classic vintage style, their performances capture the spirit of the 1930s and 1940s.
