She’s warm, witty and a show business legend, Rosemary Squires, whose Fairy Liquid ‘Hands That Do Dishes’ song earned her the accolade ‘Queen of the Jingles’, continues to charm and delight her audiences whether it’s a major Concert Hall or the local village hall. Often identified as ‘Britain’s Doris Day’ her enduring appeal is testament to the talent and personality of a true star who was born to sing.

She has worked with star performers from Johnny Dankworth and Ted Heath to the BBC Concert Orchestra; from Ken Dodd to Cliff Richard; from Matt Monro to Sammy David Jnr, on both sides of the Atlantic: in every medium, Recording, Radio and Television, including coast to coast USA.

The sentimentality of the Forties was followed by the happy music of the fifties and sixties which produced a galaxy of Stars uniquely recalled by Rosemary who actually shared top billing throughout years of memorable hits.

Joined by international celebrity, Brian Dee and his Music and packed with amusing anecdotes of backstage memories, makes for a two-hour feast of fun, chatter and great music. Usually followed by a chat with the audience over a cup of tea!
