As part of #NationalGirlfriendsDay, let's give a shoutout to the friends who always have our backs! My girlfriends aren’t just people I like to hang out with—though we do plenty of that—they’re a vital part of who I am and who I’ll keep becoming.

I cannot begin to say 'thank you' in a way which sounds as meaningful as I want it to, to the many many women who gave me time, thoughts and support for the book. Your faith in me is truly humbling. I hope I have done your words justice. September and we shall know. #womeninjazz

For all women in jazz. Those who made the journey, those still on their road and those just setting off. You are not on your own x

We’re on our way to Brussels for the next leg of @CatsMusical tour. I saw this guy playing and called @CeiliOConnor as I knew he needed a singing partner. Captured a bit of the magic here. He was so sweet, saying Ceili “made his day” and that she must be “in a show”. Precious x

Yesterday, I spent 10 minutes arguing with an 11-year-old who refused to accept that there is such note as a Bb. A#s were equally rejected. I imagine this is what it must be like to have a conversation with the President of the United States.

Dear Mr Cullum. It came to my attention that you are turning 40 this year and we are seriously starting to worry about the validity of this jazz/pop, stage trick. Might you consider a less impactful gimmick? Perhaps biting the head off of something? Yours faithfully, Your Knees.

People talk of jazz as elitist. I am struggling with my book but have been gobsmacked by the women who have given me time and thoughts - photographers too have offered really incredible shots. Jazz at the moment is supportive and wonderful, however we improvise it. #womeninjazz

My future child: “hey mom what were your hobbies when you were young?” Me: “well dear, at 22 years old I enjoyed scrolling through Etsy at 1am and convincing myself that I needed all kinds of embroidered artwork and a felting kit for beginners.”
