About Simone
Crowned “Princess of Jazz” by the Perth press, Simone Craddock is one of the city’s best-loved Jazz & Blues vocalists. After years performing at London’s most prestigious venues — from Ronnie Scott’s to the Houses of Parliament — and starring in West End and international tours of Annie, Jesus Christ Superstar, Dirty Dancing and Hello, Dolly!, she returned home to sweep the Fringe World Music & Musicals Awards year after year with her sold-out productions.
Festival appearances include Edinburgh Fringe, York Jazz Festival, Blues at Bridgetown, Jazz by the Beach, Lyric Lane Jazz Festival and Perth International Jazz Festival. Closer to home, she’s graced stages from His Majesty’s Theatre to the State Theatre Centre and Government House Ballroom, and appeared as guest soloist with the Perth Symphony Orchestra.
These days, Simone can most often be found sipping champagne by the bar of her favourite jazz club — but tonight, she’s making a rare foray into the limelight to sip champagne on stage instead. Do join her!
