Dulcie May Moreno is an emerging Jazz artist based in Kent. A self taught musician, also playing guitar and percussion. Taking early influence from legends such as Nina Simone and Billie Holiday, then moving on to the inimitable talents of Sheila Jordan, Mark Murphy and more currently Kurt Elling.
Dulcie has had a number of weekly and monthly residencies, hosted jam sessions and ticketed events at venues such as the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury, and Astor Theatre in Deal for six years pre pandemic. Since then Dulcie decided to use the opportunity to work on her own voice in music again, and has been writing some original songs for guitar and piano. The Quintet have been recording these original songs and they are due to be released in the next few months.
Dulcie has performed at Jazz Clubs in London such as upstairs at Ronnie Scotts, Olivers Jazz Bar in Greenwich, Annie’s Jazz Club in Southend on Sea, and is a regular at Jazz nights at The Queens Club in Barons Court. She has recently been on tour performing in Cambridge, Newcastle, Scotland, Edinburgh and has plans to tour Scotland and Ireland next year. In June 2023 and 2024 Dulcie Curated a very successful two day Jazz festival at Woolton Farm in Canterbury, programming and headlining the Saturday evenings.
Alongside Dulcies’ original selection of songs, The Quintet will perform classic standards by Julie London and Chet Baker.
Audiences can expect to hear hauntingly beautiful arrangements, inspired by the imaginings of the "what could have been" between two great intimate, sultry players. 'Walkin'', 'Do it the hard way', 'I'm in the Mood 'for love' and You and the 'Night and the music' are just a handful of songs on the set list.

Steve Fishwick is one of Londons top Jazz Trumpeters, he is internationally recognised, and regularly performs across the globe from China to Munich. Trumpet great Wynton Marsalis recently said about him - "Steve has his own style. He plays from the bottom to the top of the horn whilst maintaining the integrity of the chords. I can't think of another trumpet player that can do what he does."
Steve has released a number of albums and enjoys regular gigs across the country’s Jazz venues such as Pizza Express and Ronnie Scott’s. He is an educator and is head of Jazz Trumpet at Leeds Conservatoire.

Jerome Davies on Double Bass, a distinguished Jazz bass player and arranger, and is responsible for some of the exciting and beautiful arrangements we will be performing. He is also a luthier, Jerome will be playing a stunning double bass he has made himself. The tone of Jerome's bass alone is enough to make us swoon, and he can really play.
Dulcie's long time musical partner of ten years is guitarist Stephen Bridgland.
Stephens' style of playing can be described as boldly beautiful and his melodic improvisation, adds so much character to the performances.
Stephen has released a number of records of various genres and is now being handled by a record label for ambient music.
Stephen has co written several of the songs that are being released.
Matt Home - one of the most sensitive and intuitive drummers on the London scene. Matt and Steve Fishwick have worked together for many years in various projects and when forming this band Steve suggested to bring Matt in and it’s been a harmonious sound ever since.
“Matt Home combines the creativity of Max Roach with the wide open swing of Art Blakey” John Fordham - The Guardian
Matt was awarded the 1993 “ John Scheerer Prize” for Jazz drums was nominated in the best drummer category for the 2016 British Jazz Award
