Golden-age harmonies for dancing, dreaming, & belonging.
A one-of-a-kind jazz community
We’re an all-female jazz collective making joyful music through close harmony and hand-crafted arrangements drawing on golden-age swing, trad jazz, gospel, and vintage pop.
Led by Ellie Dattani (UK) and Zoe Swann (USA), and based in the Midlands, we sing love songs to gather communties together. Our music is an open invitation to enjoy what is beautiful: made to include rather than exclude, to spark laughter and play, and to remind us how good it feels to belong with no strings attached.

“It was nostalgic and warm, and somehow the whole room ended up singing. I didn’t expect to cry, but I did.” (Audience member)
“The kind of performance that lingers with you long after you leave the venue.” (Audience member)
“What a wonderful evening of live music from these hugely talented people! The Moon Poppies were a real trip down memory lane - my lovely dad was frequently heard singing Bei Mir Bist Du Shoen. Those songs were great favourites of my his and by exposure and association, of ours. Witnessing that sort of talent is a real privilege. Thank you.” (Audience member)
