Midlands mediums unite to deliver a moving, powerful evening of comfort and clarity

Two of the Midlands’ most gifted mediums, award‑winning John Hughes and the renowned Helen Millward, have joined forces as The Psychic Duo for a new show that feels less like a performance and more like a shared room of remembrance—an evening where people laugh, cry and find gentle lasting comfort together.

Birmingham-born John Hughes, the celebrity-favourite creator of the show, is an award-winning psychic medium and author of the book "They Are OK". Renowned for his calm, compassionate readings, Hughes reassures clients that their loved ones in spirit are truly “OK,” earning him a devoted following. John has provided readings and spiritual guidance to public figures such as Alex Reid and Danielle Lloyd, who have publicly praised his insightful and impactful work.

Helen Millward is a highly regarded natural clairvoyant and medium, connecting with spirits and angels since the age of two. Hailing from the Black Country, she has become a local favourite across the Midlands for her warm, direct clairvoyance, heartfelt stage presence and the remarkable accuracy of her readings. Helen has emerged as a compassionate guide, helping others find love, connection and peace through her work.

Their new show "Tears & Laughter," exquisitely blends personal storytelling, gentle humour, and live readings, offering a comforting space for audiences to reconnect with lost loved ones. The pair’s joint performances lean into the human stories behind every reading - the small, precise details that stop a room, the audible sobs that turn into relieved laughter, the private moments of clarity that bring comfort long after the lights go down. Attendees often respond with stunned recognition, saying, “There was no way anyone would have known that!”

“I’m honoured to be touring with Helen,” said John Hughes. “We both aim to bring reassurance and healing. These nights are about people - their memories, their questions and moments of connection that matter.”

The show aims to be a gentle, uplifting experience for anyone seeking comfort, answers or simply a reminder that love continues in unexpected ways. Audiences can expect intimate evenings that focus on the human heart of mediumship: real people, real stories and the powerful moments that follow.

John and Helen will be at the Bradmore Arms in Wolverhampton, on Friday, January 30. To find out more and other upcoming show dates, visit thepsychicduo.co.uk.
