Irene joins MAMBO as an extensive and successful Professional Vocalist
Not content simply to stand behind a microphone, Irene engages with the audience. Even then it’s not just about singing a song – it’s feeling it, interpreting it, and delivering the subtleties and nuances of it’s meaning to the audience.
It’s that ability and appreciation which sets Irene apart from the rest.

Tony, Keys & Electronics
You could say Tony is the engine room of the Band, creating that solid sound and support to all we do. Tony has had many years experience as a top professional musician and multi instrumentalist, having played ten years with the Royal Marines Band on many Royal Family Events and Government Occasions. After leaving the Royal Marines, Tony continued his music career playing with a number of semi professional bands. This Pedigree (over the years) has produced a confident and versatile top musician.
Although usually positioned towards the back of the Band with his Yamaha Tyros 5, and amongst all the PA, Mixers, Electronics and Synths at his fingertips, Tony is a very much valued Band Member.
