MO SCOTT QUARTET
Mo, who has established a reputation through performances at major jazz and blues festivals, is regarded as one of the most exciting female singers around. Carrying on in the tradition of the great female vocalists, she perform a variety of music ranging from the most ‘delicate’ of jazz ballads to ‘hot’ blues. The Quartet -featuring guitarist Rod Sinclair - sees Mo leading a band that can truly swing and groove and provide the perfect back drop for some great songs.
