Wednesbury-born Joanne Shaw Taylor has certainly made good on a dream start to her career. At the tender age of 16, her remarkable guitar playing caught the attention of Eurythmics star Dave Stewart, who was so impressed that he invited her to join his supergroup, D.U.P.. Before long, Joanne was garnering all manner of praise from some of the biggest names in the business, including Stevie Wonder, Annie Lennox and Joe Bonamassa. 

Having turned 40 earlier this year, she continues to hit all the right notes with a blues-based sound that unapologetically borrows from rock, funk, soul and pop. 

Her Wolverhampton stop-off is part of a promotional tour for her recently released 10th studio album, Black & Gold. Folk duo Ferris & Sylvester also feature on the bill.
