 “Each time I have heard Churchill sing, I have noted not just her ability to impress, by bringing understanding and a sense of music clarity to complex vocal lines, but also to affect an audience emotionally, to draw in our attention and to give memorable performances which stay in the mind.” - London Jazz News.

Immy Churchill became a new favourite of the Isle of Wight Jazz Weekend in 2023 when she appeared with Sol Grimshaw's Blue Orchids in the opening act at Mountbatten Hospice. The daughter of Nikki Iles and Pete Churchill, Immy has become a star name in her own right, and we were always keen to get back to the Island with her own band. 

The Immy Churchill quartet celebrates their love of incredible jazz singers such as Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald and Blossom Dearie in this evening of storytelling through The American Songbook. Immy Churchill is recognised as a “rising star” on the jazz scene and will be joined by fellow leading lights Scottie Thompson, Jonah Evans and Toby Yapp. 

Fresh from the Royal Academy of Music, Immy cites her influences from Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra to Joni Mitchell and Norma Winstone. She is already making a name for herself on the London scene, playing at venues such as Ronnie Scott’s and Pizza Express and The Royal Albert Hall.
