Wolverhampton-born Beverley Knight MBE returns to her geographical roots this month with latest touring show Born To Perform. 

Beverley’s been labelled the UK Queen of Soul - and with her influences including the likes of Sam Cooke and Aretha Franklin, it’s easy to see why. 

“I’m excited to get back on the road, but with a different kind of show [to the sort] folks are used to with me,” says Beverley, who three years ago bagged the ‘best supporting actress’ Olivier Award for her performance in the hit musical Sylvia. 

“Born To Perform is me taking you on a journey through my life - on both music and theatre stages - using my memories, and of course, my songs. I’m stripping back my sound so that the audience can lean in a little closer and really hear my soul.”
