Everything from all Jazz crooners to Ed Sheeran style upbeat songs, Ciaran has a voice that can do it all. I would absolutely work with Ciaran again and fully intend to." Based in St Albans, England (156 miles from York) Sarah Stratford - Private Event Booker Photo of L'Esprit du Jazz L'Esprit du Jazz "“L’Esprit du Jazz, accordionist Karen Street’s quartet in a pleasing set of tightly arranged swing and jazz.
