Victoria’s Big Easy

‘Big Easy’ features at its core, Victoria Skingsley-Bartholomew on vocals. She brings an authentic bluesy-soul style of her own, and Chris West, songwriter at the guitar. Chris is a platinum award winning producer in his own right.

'The Songs Of Bonnie Raitt'

Live Show

In April 2025, the band was formed to produce a live show in appreciation of the 'Songs of Bonnie Raitt', a Multi Grammy Award winner , with a career spanning more than 50 years, who always remained true to her roots of Delta Blues.

Victoria Skingsley-Bartholomew's rich vocal performance delivers the heart of the music. Put it together with the seven piece band, featuring Chris West's fine guitar work, an evening of complete joy!

Victoria's Big Easy, authentic live performance, captured on a one hour album is available to buy on Bandcamp.

Moving forward, Victoria and the band have been developing their own original material, still inspired by early Delta Blues, with mix of Americana. 

The new album 
'What The Tide Took Back' is due for release in late April.
