Orla has been performing on the London jazz scene over the last few years, in many notable jazz and music venues throughout the city, such as: The National Portrait Gallery, The Spice of Life, The National Theatre Foyer, and The Octave. She has worked and recorded with many of London's leading jazz musicians such as: Simon Wallace, Jonathan Gee, Barry Green, Julie Walkington, Amy Baldwin, and Winston Clifford, to name a few.

Although mainly performing jazz from her vast repertoire, her voice is equipped with the versatility to sing soul gems and pop classics; as well as her own unique interpretations of songs made famous by some of her favourite singer/songwriters, such as Joni Mitchell. One of her primary idols is Stevie Wonder, and her interpretation of his classic 'Make Sure Your Sure' from her debut album 'Wishful Thinking' (2008), is testament to her adventurous approach to jazz.

She has also performed throughout the UK, in Italy, Ireland and Scotland, with memorable performances at the Derry Jazz & Big Band Festival in Northern Ireland (May '07), the Glasgow International Jazz Festival (June '07) and Swansea Jazzland, Wales (July '07 & May '08).

In the last year Orla released her debut album 'Wishful Thinking', which she co-produced with pianist Simon Wallace. The album had its official release on FMR Records on the 1st May 2008 and is gaining notable praise from jazz musicians and critics alike. This release coincided with Orla's very successful Jazz Services tour in England which began at the National Portrait Gallery in London on the 30th May 2008.

In 2005 and 2006 Orla performed with two of Europe's leading contemporary jazz guitarists, Sandro Gibellini in Certaldo, Italy (August 2005) and with Mike Nielsen at the Sligo Jazz Festival, Ireland (October 2005). Orla was also guest vocalist with Sandro as part of his north-west tour of Ireland in Sligo (February 2006).

Orla consistently receives great feedback from her audiences, which leads to many offers of work to perform at private parties and other similar events.

Orla can perform with any desired line-up and/or other variations according to your needs. A great choice!
