How you can help fund the new album from the Wendy Kirkland Quartet.
Piano Divas - An exciting new show celebrating the music and song of the singer/pianists Diana Krall, Eliane Elias, Blossom Dearie, Nina Simone, Shirley Horn etc.
We’ve had a great year so far with some memorable gigs in superb venues.
Now we need to address the question that we are constantly asked - “Do you have a CD?”
We need a CD for 2 reasons - firstly to say “yes” to the question above, secondly, to send out for consideration at major venues and festivals, that won’t consider us otherwise.
We’ve decided that this project needs to be seen all over the UK, those of you who have already seen the Piano Divas show will hopefully agree, but we need a CD to be able to do this.
All the members of the band have spent time rehearsing, arranging the pieces, recording and gigging, in most cases for no pay whatsoever.
We’re now appealing to you folks - can you help us raise the funds for a recording?
We’re offering 4 packages:
Bronze - £10
Silver - £20
Silver Gilt - £35
Gold - £40
Each one includes a first pressing of the CD, a signed photo dedicated to you, and additional goodies include your name in the credits on the CD sleeve, a pair of tickets to a Piano Divas Show and also Chesterfield Jazz Club.
If you’d like to help us, and want full details of the packages on offer, please visit

We feel as though we’re embarking on an exciting journey!
By donating you are helping us get our foot on the ladder, or in the door, of the next level.
Many thanks in advance
Wendy Kirkland and Pat Sprakes.
