Lynette Frances performs a wide range of songs delivered without a glitch. Her voice is clearly a versatile instrument, that can be switched – seemingly effortlessly - from sounding unrestrained and powerful for one song, to hauntingly beautiful for another, to raunchy and camp for a third. Another thing about Lynette: she has great stage presence, with her solid guitar playing and vocal ability, she can work the room like Elvis in Vegas.
Come and see Lynette perform live at The Sandgate Hotel lounge bar. Great afternoon's entertainment with no entrance fee.
