                           In 1992 Minika was diagnosed with  very severe multiple sclerosis, but rather than give up on life she decided to embrace it with her talent for singing. Her story was documented in 2002 in a Channel 4 programme which showed her determination to make it as a singer and she launch her first CD entitles "GROUNDED"  in the same year. She sings at many local events every year, many of them for charity, and is a regular performer at the Disability Rights Festival held annually in London’s Trafalgar Square. Minika’s repertoire is varied, including soul, jazz, blues, and swing standards from the golden age of American song.   Recently, she has worked with song writers John Bishop and Derek Thurland who are also members of Stevenage Male Voice Choir .

                                                                                          Hutch 
                                  
                                               
         Hutch started in show business early in life. Formerly known as Derek Dale he was, from the ages of 5 to 11, the youngest member of a family act known as The Singing Dancing Dales, performing in Blackpool and the North West. After a long break from show business, during which time he pursued a successful career in sales management, Hutch is now back doing what he loves best - singing. If you enjoy the classic songs from the pens of Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hart, Sammy Cahn, and Jimmy Van Heusen, etc. sung in the styles of Frank Sinatra, Nat 'King' Cole, Tony Bennett, and Harry Connick Jnr., then Hutch is the man for you. As Hutch says "as long as people like what I am doing and continue to book me, I will carry on singing".
