Eddie Gripper and Debs Hancock join forces to celebrate the timeless magic of the Great American Songbook at Penarth Pier Pavilion.
Welsh vocalist Debs Hancock brings warmth, elegance, and emotional depth to her performances, drawing inspiration from the great jazz singers of the 20th century. Her smoky, expressive voice has been heard at festivals including Cheltenham, Brecon, Swansea, Abergavenny, Ludlow, and Fishguard, as well as on BBC Radio Wales and Jazz Radio.
With a style that is soulful, subtle, and authentic, Debs continues to captivate audiences across Wales and beyond.
Having “already garnered comparisons with the greats” (Jazzwise) after the release of his debut album Home (2023), Eddie Gripper has been rapidly establishing himself as another young contender on the national jazz circuit. He has worked as a performer, promoter and producer alongside top musicians in his field, including Huw Warren, Iain Ballamy, Alex Merritt and Yuri Golubev. As a composer, he has collaborated with vocalist Elijah Jeffery, releasing a self-titled album in 2025 songs that explore the intersections of jazz, singer-songwriter classical and folk traditions.
We’re delighted to have Debs and Eddie perform as part of Penarth Jazz Festival!

Mae Eddie Gripper a Debs Hancock yn ymuno i ddathlu hud bythol y Great American Songbook ym Mhafiliwn Pier Penarth.
Mae'r gantores o Gymru Debs Hancock yn dod â chynhesrwydd, cyfaredd a dyfnder emosiynol i'w pherfformiadau, gan dynnu ar ysbrydoliaeth gan gantorion jazz mawr yr 20fed ganrif. Mae ei llais myglyd, mynegiannol wedi’i glywed mewn amryw o wyliau gan gynnwys yn Cheltenham, Aberhonddu, Abertawe, Y Fenni, Llwydlow, ac Abergwaun, ac hefyd ar BBC Radio Wales a Jazz Radio.
Gydag arddull sy'n llawn enaid, crefft a diffuantrwydd, mae Debs yn parhau i swyno cynulleidfaoedd ledled Cymru a’r tu hwnt.
Ar ôl "ennill cymariaethau â'r cewri" (yn y byd Jazz) ar ôl rhyddhau ei albwm cyntaf Home (2023), mae Eddie Gripper wedi bod yn sefydlu ei hun yn gyflym fel enw pwysig ifanc arall ar y gylchdaith jazz genedlaethol. Mae wedi gweithio fel perfformiwr, hyrwyddwr a chynhyrchydd ochr yn ochr â cherddorion gorau yn ei faes, gan gynnwys Huw Warren, Iain Ballamy, Alex Merritt a Yuri Golubev. Fel cyfansoddwr, mae wedi cydweithio â'r canwr Elijah Jeffery, gan ryddhau albwm hunan-deitl yn 2025 caneuon sy'n cynnwys croestoriadau jazz, ynghyd â thraddodiadau clasurol a gwerin.
Rydym yn falch iawn o gael Debs ac Eddie yn perfformio fel rhan o Ŵyl Jazz Penarth!
