Lorraine is a new name to the UK’s music world but with an accomplished voice and elegant and stylish sound, you'd be forgiven for thinking the Irish singer was a seasoned pro. A chance meeting with her idol Barbra Streisand in Italy a couple of years ago, gave Lorraine the drive to focus once again on her own music after raising three children. The result being a confident and compelling collection of original songs and covers, released in the autumn of 2018. Lorraine has honed her sound into a smooth and soulful blend of jazz and pop with a distinct Celtic flavour -
a nod to her Irish roots. It was clear from an early age that music was to play an important role in Lorraine’s life. She started to sing at the age of 5 and starred in a number of school plays before eventually landing the lead role in Snow White at Dublin’s National Theatre and then went on to perform on National television’s Live at 3 and The Late Late Show. Lorraine's two biggest influences are Barbra Streisand and Ella Fitzgerald, hence the recent jazz set she has compiled with her band Lorraine & The Flames, covering many of the great melodies from The Great American Songbook.
