Star is all set for last major tour, she tells MARION SAUVEBOIS THROUGHOUT her 42-year career, critically-acclaimed singer songwriter Joan Armatrading has never done a solo world tour.

This is about to change as she performs alone on stage for her last major tour, which will come to the Wyvern Theatre on Tuesday, November 18.

“I will never retire but this will be the last major tour that I will undertake,” she said.

“For the first time these concerts will be me solo on stage playing the guitar, piano and singing. I want these concerts to be a special, lively, interactive one-to-one experience.

“I have absolutely enjoyed the last 42 years of performances but now, with my final major tour, I want to capture a unique memory for both myself and the audience.”

Fans are guaranteed a blend of old favourites, including Love and Affection, Willow, Drop The Pilot and Me, Myself I, and more recent compositions. The three times Grammy-nominated, Brit award nominee and Ivor Novello winner is recognised as one of the world’s leading singer, songwriter and guitarists.

The Swindon performance is sold out. For more information about future tour dates and her latest tour news visit joanarmatrading.com.
