Martin McAloon of Prefab Sprout

Expect all the hits and pared-back acoustic versions of Prefab Sprout’s most beloved songs, along with some storytelling and the opportunity to meet Martin after the show.

Following the success of Vonda’s recent barnstorming UK tours which sold out venues across the country, Vonda will be returning to play a set of greatest hits and favourites from her many albums including her latest release, Red Light, Green Light with her full band.

Vonda first shot to fame through her long-running appearances, performances and musical accompaniment on the smash hit US TV show Ally McBeal. The theme song ‘Searching My Soul reached the top 10 in the UK and Vonda released a series of Ally-inspired albums which went on to sell a staggering 12 million copies worldwide.

Including such favourites as ‘Tell Him’, ‘Maryland’, ‘I Only Want To Be With You’, ‘Baby Don’t You Break My Heart Slow’, ‘Proud Mary’, ‘Walk Away Rene’ and ‘You Belong To Me’, this is one feel good evening filled with nostalgia not to miss!

Sam Carter with Stuart McCallum

Over his fifteen-year career, Midlands-born guitarist and songwriter Sam Carter has earned a reputation for vivid, heartfelt songwriting and captivating live performances.

He is a highly regarded instrumentalist, renowned by many as “the finest English-style fingerpicking guitarist of his generation” (Jon Boden). Sam has appeared on national TV, including Later… with Jools Holland, won a BBC Folk Award, and toured the world, sharing stages with folk’s leading lights, including Richard Thompson, Eliza Carthy, Martin Simpson, and Bella Hardy.

This autumn, Sam Carter returns with a tour in support of his latest record, Silver Horizon – an album packed with hook-driven indie folk songs set in a captivating, dream-like sound world. Having played on the recording, guitarist Stuart McCallum (The Breath) joins him again tonight, weaving epic reverb-drenched soundscapes around many songs, which are simultaneously otherworldly and deeply personal. It’s this seamless blend of the intimate and ethereal that makes Silver Horizon the most remarkable album of Carter’s career.

Lady Nade Sings Nina Simone

Renowned for her distinctive and award-winning vocal prowess, Lady Nade possesses one of the most singular voices in the UK music scene.

Critics and fans alike have often drawn comparisons between Lady Nade’s voice and the legendary Nina Simone. An artist known for paying homage to those who have profoundly influenced her journey, Lady Nade holds Nina Simone in high regard.

Nina Simone, an icon and consummate musical storyteller of the twentieth century, left behind a legacy of liberation, empowerment, passion and love through her extraordinary body of work. By the end of her life, she had garnered an unprecedented level of recognition. Her music reached millions through recordings, film, television, and the digital sphere. In the last decade of her life alone, she sold over a million CDs, solidifying her status as a global best-seller.

As a black woman, Lady Nade acknowledges Nina Simone’s trailblazing role in paving the way for artists of her generation. Simone’s tenacity encouraged them not to abandon their dreams and aspirations. Lady Nade is honoured to celebrate Nina Simone’s life and enduring legacy alongside some of the UK’s most accomplished musicians.

This high-energy performance is a heartfelt dedication to recreating the transformative sound that blended popular tunes of the era into a distinctive fusion of jazz, blues, gospel, and folk music.

Sydnie Christmas

Fresh from her victory as the winner of Britain’s Got Talent 2024, Sydnie Christmas heads out on her debut UK tour, the My Way Tour.

Sydnie Christmas has taken the nation by storm with her breathtaking and exceptional talent. Her performances of ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’, ‘My Way’, and ‘Tomorrow’ captivated both the Britain’s Got Talent judges and the public, and her voice has even earned the praise of Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Applying for Britain’s Got Talent was Sydnie’s last shot at making the West End. Her triumph on the show made her the first female singer to win and is just the beginning of what promises to be a remarkable career.
