The show will feature Beverley singing all greatest hits as well as songs from her recently released seventh album Soul UK. She has sold over a million albums in her career so far and has been the UK’s most consistently successful soul artiste since making her debut in 1995.
The soul queen is a winner of three MOBO awards including best R&B Artist twice; won the Outstanding Achievement award at the 2005 Urban Music Awards; nominated for Mercury Music Awards and the Brits Awards and in 2007 collected an MBE for her services to music and charity.
