Beverley Craven

Event information

Tickets: £23 on the door.

Performing all her hits from the 90's including Promise Me, Holding On, Woman to Woman, Memories & Love Scenes, Beverley Craven is back on the road, playing just a handful of small & intimate venues "They're far better suited to the confessional style of my new songs..." she says, "It's like I've invited the audience back to my place!" Once again with a paired down acoustic line up and stripped back production, she sings candidly about her experience of breast cancer, her recent divorce and current affairs (not the political kind...) This is a show filled with nostalgia, unapologetically designed to make you laugh, cry and then buy her autobiography Truth Be Told that's been 12 years in the making!

Beverley Craven is a British singer-songwriter best known for her 1991 UK Top 5 hit single "Promise Me". She began taking piano lessons at the age of seven encouraged by her mother who was a classical violinist. Musical influences included such singer-songwriters as Elton John, Judie Tzuke, Steve Wonder and Kate Bush. Striking out on her own as a piano-playing singer and songwriter and following a brief stint touring with soul singer Bobby Womack, Beverley recorded her first set of demos and attracted the attention of Go West's manager. A major music publishing deal followed and after some time learning her craft in Los Angeles, Beverley went on to record with Paul Samwell-Smith, whose other production credits included Cat Stevens, Carly Simon and All About Eve.

The album "Beverley Craven" was released in 1990 and the single "Promise Me" peaked at no.3 in the UK singles chart in 1991 with the album doing similarly well; eventually going double platinum in the UK and selling in excess of 2 million copies worldwide. In 1992, Beverley performed at the Brit Awards Show, following her nomination in three categories, and won the Best British Newcommer Award. Subsequent albums, singles and sell-out tours have followed. A wonderful evening is guaranteed.
