The Floozies
From Suffolk in the UK, The Floozies who comprise Daisy Windsor (Vocal/Guitar), Paula Welham (Sax/flute/Harmony Vocals), Sue Szymanski (bodhrán/precussion), successfully utilise a wide range of instruments in creating their own style of acoustic folk influenced jazz.
With their wide repertoire of instruments and considerable musical ability, The Floozies are not confined to any particular mode. One song, the soaring sax leads, lifts the music towards jazz, this may then be followed by the mournful sound of the flute drawing them to an ethereal space. The combination of acoustic guitar and bodhrán drums leads to a more whimsical place as the band may decide to explore folk influences. Throughout it all the lilting voice of Daisy makes The Floozies instantly recognisable.
It is often surprising to remember there are only three band members as they create a depth and fluidity to the music which appears to require a fourth musician. Clever stuff put together really well.
With three releases behind them, The Floozies are well positioned to generate a larger following as they continue to tour through-out the UK.
