    About this Act

    Flying Macs consists of 5 musicians with varied backgrounds and influences, fronted by a female singer named Shannagh, from New-Zealand, trained as a Jazz singer, she's a very dynamic and powerful woman so as a talented musician with great stage moves, she has a lot of different influences such as Jazz, Soul, Motown, 90's Pop and RnB. The Romanian-born guitarist Ioana is also a music teacher and bass player, trained as a music tutor and studio engineer at Napier University in Edinburgh, graduated in 2021, her influences are coming from Grunge to heavier Rock and Ska-Punk or Electronic music. On bass guitar it's Charlotte, a French-born musician and vocalist with more than 15 years experience as a performer. She also plays upright double bass in a Swing Jazz band and Traditional Jazz band in different projects. On keyboard it's the Canadian/Belgian Nicolas who's also a piano teacher and performer with great experience and knowledge of music in all genres such as rock, blues, jazz, pop and funk. On drums we have Italian-born Gian Paolo who's is also a music producer and composer, singer and multi-influenced musician-performer for more than 10 years.

    Since the start of 2022, Flying Macs has performed and worked on a few showcases in one of the most popular and busy venue The Whistle Binkies in Edinburgh (Old Town). Flying Macs works on covers and popular music specifically for weddings and private parties; trying to cover all the styles of popular music from the 60's to the late 2000's and as close to the original versions as possible. The Flying Macs can play up to 3 hours of live music and are able to satisfy all sorts of musical tastes to make everyone happy and confident about going on the dance floors, from R'n'B to Blues, Pop, Rock'n'Roll, Soul and Funk...

    The Flyings Macs can perform all over Edinburgh with no additional costs (in case the hired venue has a PA system available and a basic backline with cabinets and drum kit) but they can also play all around the country (adding extra costs for transportation and possible accommodation if needed); the band will also offer to bring a PA system and backline in case the venue doesn't have provided gears ; it will involve an extra cost for car hire and possible PA rental.
