Sapphire Soul Set for Special West End Launch Concert, Aug 17

Sejal Keshwala, Laura Tebbutt and Lisa-Marie Holmes are all successful solo artists in their own right, but together, as sensational new group Sapphire Soul, they are set to become a major new force to be reckoned with.

Sapphire Soul will be launched with a special one-off West End performance directed by Sarah Ingram at The Hippodrome Casino on Sunday August 17.

Laura Tebbutt is "the belter". A renowned solo vocalist, guesting with Michael Ball, Elton John and The Royal Philharmonic, she's also a musical theatre actress (The Wizard of Oz, Les Miserables) and was a contestant on Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sound of Music hunt for a Maria, How Do You Solve a Problem like Maria?

Sejal Keswala is "the soul sister". She is a spectacular singer, who has performed everything from Bernstein's Mass at The Royal Festival Hall to r'n'b and jazz at Ronnie Scott's. A regular session singer at both Angel and Eastcote Studios Sejal competed on the BBC's Search for a Musical Star.

Lisa-Marie Holmes is "the powerhouse". She received critical acclaim for her portrayal of Barbra Streisand in You Don't Bring Me Flowers and as Joanne in the 20th anniversary concert tour of Rent, co-starring with Kerry Ellis. Lisa-Marie is also a regular Soloist at Ronnie Scott's.

Together they are SAPPHIRE SOUL... Three Dazzling Divas, Three Dynamic Voices!

Directed by Sarah Ingram.
