ABOUT THE ARTIST:
ONE NIGHT ONLY
After an incredible sell-out 2-week performance with us in January 2018 and 2019, we are delighted to welcome Rebecca back for another intimate gig for one night only. Once again she'll be choosing a selection of her favourite soul classics alongside a few of her own compositions including 'Shoulder to shoulder', 'Teach me how to be loved', and 'Nothing’s real but love'.
Rebecca Ferguson has had an astonishing career securing her position as one of the world’s most successful vocalists and song writers. Her four chart topping albums include a stunning tribute to Billie Holiday “Lady Sings the Blues” which was met with rapturous critical acclaim. She is also famous for turning down Donald Trump’s request for her to sing at his Presidential Inauguration by agreeing to do so only if she could sing Billie Holiday’s “Strange Fruit,” a remarkably soulful, beautiful and poignant protest song against American racism written in 1937. Rebecca is excitingly currently working on her brand new upcoming album with the legendary funk maestro, Nile Rogers.
