Interviewed on
BBC Radio 3
recently,
International
Arranger and
Composer, Angela
Morley, ranked
Rosemary and Mel Torme as her "two
favourite
singers".
Her enduring
popularity
and versatility
across the whole
spectrum of
‘popular
entertainment’
is unequalled.
A regular
broadcaster,
with TV and
Radio Series of
her own,
Rosemary was
twice voted most
televised lady
vocalist of the
year.
Appearances on
the prestigious
‘Johnny Carson
Show’ networked
across America
established
international
reputation.
Top billing at
major venues on
both sides of
the Atlantic
with just about
every ‘big name’
from Danny Kaye
to Sammy Davis
Junior; from
Cliff Richard to
Ken Dodd, led to
national Gala
and Royal
Occasions.
Rosemary credits
her success to
the backing of
the finest
musicians in the
land. Not least
her musical
director,
international
pianist Brian
Dee. Having
worked with all
the Big names
from Humphrey
Lyttelton to the
BBC Concert
Orchestra; from
Syd Lawrence to
the BBC Big Band
she is justly
proud of the
epithet
“Britain’s best
known Big Band
singer”.
TRADITIONAL
CABARET
Popular at top
London Cabaret
Spots, Rosemary
cherishes
opportunities
from those who
value what is in
some ways a
diminishing art
form; along with
gentle jazz.

Complimented by
the late Peter
Hepple in ‘The
Stage’ "What
a pity we do not
see one of our
best singers,
Rosemary
Squires, in
London more
often"
"I'll play for her anytime" George Shearing.
