Iconic singer tops bill at Rye International Jazz and Blues Festival

The British icon performed, with her band in the magnificent setting of St Mary’s Church. Kt Bruce, who captured these pictures, said: “Performing with her full band to a sold-out audience, Mica Paris demonstrated just why, after a career spanning decades, she remains such a commanding live performer. From powerful, soaring vocals to quieter moments of warmth and intimacy, she had the historic church captivated. “It was a memorable ending to four days of music in Rye, and a performance worthy of closing another hugely enjoyable festival weekend.”
