Beverley Knight

An awesome voice, much missed in its temporary absence. An already-great artist, yet one who has used that self-claimed time away to continue the all-important process of maturing and growing. Certainly, she's been missed, but the good news is that this three-times Mobo award-winner is here among us again. Not only that, but, as a blossoming and very centred 27 year old, she's sounding even better than ever. Why wouldn't she be? Since last we heard her, she's charmed (and been totally awed by) Nelson Mandela, sung Happy Birthday to a delighted Mohammed Ali, duetted live and on record with Jamiroquai's Jay Kay, and done a whole lot of getting to know herself too. "All of which has brought me to a very good place indeed!"
