Sheila has established herself on the UK jazz scene and has performed at many festivals, events and jazz venues to include London’s Jazz Cafe, The Millennium Dome, CBS Arena, Ronnie Scott’s and has been a regular feature at the Birmingham Jazz and Blues Festival for several years. She enjoys collaborations and performances with many of the UK’s top musicians.

Featuring Arran Shanghavi (Crumar Mojo dual manual organ), Jono Hilliam (drums) and Jamie McLeish (guitar).

The band’s exciting repertoire includes a healthy dose of classic organ-trio material like the groove-oriented writing of John Scofield and Joshua Redman’s Elastic album, to carefully-chosen standards and other works from the jazz canon, both contemporary (eg Bob Reynolds) and classic (eg Wes Montgomery).

Alongside this, V6 reinterprets well-known popular songs such as Wichita Lineman (written by Jimmy Webb for Glen Campbell), bringing a fresh perspective to familiar material. The trio also adapts big-band works by writers and arrangers such as Jacob Mann and Tom Kubis. Amid the high-energy flow of a typical V6 set, the trio shifts by contrast into intimate territory with selected ballads, where the warmth of the Hammond organ blends beautifully with Mcleish’s rich guitar tone.
