Wolverhampton's Beverley Knight coming to Birmingham

The show follows the release of last year's acclaimed Top 10 album Soulsville. The singer songwriter and actress enjoyed a string of sold out gigs in the spring of 2016 and has completed a six-month run in the smash hit west end musical The Bodyguard.

On her new tour, she will play a broad set featuring hits from her stellar career, highlights from the Soulsville album as well as a few customary surprises that fans have come to expect from her live shows.

Recorded early last year at Royal Studios in Memphis, Soulsville celebrates the music, sounds and legacy of Memphis and was produced by Grammy nominated Justin Stanley (Prince, Beck); it features original material co-written by Knight, alongside a handful of classic Memphis covers. The new tour will see her perform favourite tracks from this latest hit album, including the self-written Radio 2 A-listed airplay hit Middle of Love and Knight's stunning version of the Ann Peebles classic I Can't Stand The Rain as well as fan favourites spanning her recording career, with a nod to her newer role as leading lady of the west end.

Triple Mobo winner and multiple Brit nominee Knight said: "Last year was so full of professional highlights – releasing my eighth studio album Soulsville and performing again in the West End to name but two. My first love is appearing on stage as myself and I can't wait to give it my all again on the I Love Soulsville Tour."
