Singer/songwriter Jess Bannister performed at BNI Wilberforce to a spellbound audience!

She’s been described as the female answer to James Morrison and, for one morning only (!), she gave a special breakfast performance to Hull’s Wilberforce chapter!Â

The 18 year old burst onto the music scene last year after winning the Hull Daily Mail’s Talent Trail. Accolades have followed her and she now has a loyal following around East Yorkshire.

Jess said: “Everyone here at BNI Wilberforce has been so kind and welcoming. I already have a nice grounding of gigs in restaurants and coffee bars, but I’ve really enjoyed performing at corporate events and this being a meeting of local businesses, I’m hoping to get some referrals.”

Members were spellbound by her performance and she did, indeed, receive a number of referrals – and many more will no doubt follow!Â

Andrew Crozier said: “We like to do things a little differently! Jess was fantastic and it was a real treat, not just for members, but for our other visitors that day, who were all extremely impressed.  It certainly introduced an extra dimension to our meeting and it was a great way of promoting BNI!”
