Classic Album Sundays is delighted to be joined by Beverley Knight at Kings Place on Monday November 4th 2019. Beverley will be interviewed by BBC 6 Music host Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy on the iconic female vocalists Chaka Khan and Aretha Franklin and the influence they have had on her own work. We will be playing selected tracks from their back catalogue on our audiophile sound system alongside Beverley’s own music. In recent years Knight has seen huge success in west end theatre with starring and award-nominated roles in shows such as The Bodyguard, Memphis and Cats.

The evening will conclude with a Q&A with the audience allowing fans to ask questions of their own.
