Melinda Lightfoot

Melinda became a professional singer in 2000 and having led her own Quartet since 2002, she knows what she likes and her audience appreciation has been borne from entertaining at many prestigious venues and festivals, including The Ritz, The 100 Club, The Sands, Gainsborough, The Stables Theatre, Wavendon and many more UK Theatres.
She has performed with some of the true greats of British Jazz, including John Dankworth, Kenny Ball, Roy Williams and of course her father Terry.
Since 2005 she has also featured with Terry Lightfoot’s Jazzmen on the UK theatre and festival circuit in Terry’s popular concert series ‘The Special Magic of Louis Armstrong.’
In 2006 she collaborated with Terry and recorded her debut album ‘Hit Me With A Hot Note’, a selection of her favourite songs from the 40’s and 50’s and a few latter day greats..
“Hit Me With A Hot Note, Very Good!” - Michael Parkinson BBC Radio 2.
“a very enjoyable cd, equipped with inborn Jazz know-how, plenty of bounce and poignancy” Humphrey Lyttelton – The Best of Jazz – BBC Radio 2
“Congratulations on producing such a fabulous album” – Gloria Hunniford
2007 will see Melinda firmly establishing herself on the British Jazz scene when she 'kicks off' her new show 'Hit Me With A Hot Note' with Terry Lightfoot's Hot Notes.
