Vintage Jazz & American Songbook Vocalist in Gloucestershire & the Cotswolds
Weddings · Corporate Events · Hotels & Private Members’ Clubs · Private Celebrations
Kitty Mazinsky is a vintage jazz vocalist based in Hungerford, Berkshire, performing 1920s to 1960s American Songbook, swing and 1940s wartime classics at weddings, corporate events and private occasions across Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds. She has performed at Cheltenham Town Hall for festival events on multiple occasions, at Bingham Hall in Cirencester with Apollo Big Band, and for a private party at Cats Abbey, a beautiful barn venue in the Windrush Valley near Burford.
Gloucestershire spans some of the finest landscape in England — from the Regency elegance of Cheltenham and the Roman streets of Cirencester to the honey-stone villages of the Cotswolds and the great country houses of the Vale of Gloucester. The Gloucestershire Cotswolds in particular — the Windrush Valley, the Slaughters, Bourton-on-the-Water and the escarpment above Cheltenham — offer a wealth of beautiful settings for weddings and private events. Kitty is available across the county for events of every scale and occasion.
Jazz in Gloucestershire & the Cotswolds
Cotswolds Weddings
The Gloucestershire Cotswolds has some of the finest country house and barn wedding venues in England. Elmore Court near Gloucester — a 750-year-old Grade II* listed country house with sweeping Cotswolds views — and Cats Abbey in the Windrush Valley near Burford are among the venues that suit live jazz beautifully. Sudeley Castle, Chavenage House and the barn venues of the Windrush and Coln valleys all offer extraordinary settings for ceremonies and receptions.

The Windrush Valley & Private Estates
The Windrush Valley between Burford and Bourton-on-the-Water is one of the most beautiful stretches of Cotswolds countryside in England, lined with honey-stone villages and private estates. Cats Abbey at Sherborne is a confirmed venue in this valley. Kingham, Bledington, Bourton-on-the-Hill and the surrounding villages are home to country houses and private event spaces that suit live jazz for intimate private celebrations.
Cheltenham — Festivals & Corporate Events
Cheltenham is one of England’s most elegant Regency towns and a natural home for festivals, corporate entertaining and special occasions. Kitty has performed at Cheltenham Town Hall for festival events on multiple occasions. The Cheltenham racecourse hospitality season, the Literature Festival, the Jazz Festival and the Science Festival all bring a calendar of events where live jazz sets a distinguished tone.

The Vale of Gloucester — Country Houses & Estates
The lowland Vale of Gloucester, between the Cotswold escarpment and the River Severn, is home to some of the finest country houses in the county. Elmore Court, Berkeley Castle and Sezincote are among the great houses of this part of Gloucestershire. For weddings and private events of real distinction, this is the part of the county with the deepest historic roots.
Cirencester & the Cotswold Market Towns
Cirencester — the ancient Roman capital of the Cotswolds — is the natural hub of the southern Cotswolds events scene. Kitty has performed at Bingham Hall with Apollo Big Band. The surrounding market towns — Bourton-on-the-Water, Burford, Chipping Campden, Moreton-in-Marsh, Stow-on-the-Wold and Northleach — all have private venues, country houses and hotels well suited to live jazz for weddings and private events.
Hotels & Private Members’ Clubs
Gloucestershire has a fine range of luxury hotels well suited to afternoon teas, lounge sets and private dining. The Lygon Arms in Broadway, THE PIG in the Cotswolds in Barnsley, The Painswick and Lords of the Manor in Upper Slaughter are among the finest. Live jazz accompanies a hotel evening in these settings with exactly the right blend of warmth and elegance.
