BEVERLEY KNIGHT
Beverley has had several Top 10 albums and sold over a million albums in the UK, with four gold-certified. Her studio album Soulsville went straight into the UK Top 10. In recent years, Wolverhampton born Knight has forged a formidable parallel career in theatre. Her West End debut was the starring role in The Bodyguard followed by leading the Tony winning Memphis The Musical. At the request of Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber she joined the cast of Cats, playing the iconic role of Grizabella. 2021 saw Beverley lead The Drifters Girl at the Garrick Theatre as the formidable manager of soul group The Drifters, which was Olivier nominated Best New Musical, and Beverley for Best Actress. Starring to huge acclaim as Emmeline Pankhurst in Sylvia at The Old Vic, Beverley won Best Actress in a Supporting Role in a Musical at the Olivier Awards in April. The show also received nominations for Best New Musical and Best Choreographer. In Spring 2024, Beverley took to the stage once again playing Deloris Van Cartier in Sister Act The Musical at the The Dominion Theatre.
WILL YOUNG
“I’m remembering my roots of pop and completely welcoming it. It’s time to celebrate and have fun.” This, coming from one of Britain’s best-loved and steadfast pop singer-songwriters of the 2000s, signals a shimmering return to form. In 2022, Will Young celebrated 20 years since his momentous Pop Idol win with a greatest hits album and sell-out national tour, a glorious recap of a career thus far that has seen all eight of his studio albums hitting Top 3 in the UK – four of which were No.1. Along the way, he picked up accolades across the entertainment spectrum including the two BRIT Awards, an Ivor Novello plus an Olivier nomination for Best Actor in A Musical for his role as Emcee in Cabaret. It would also be remiss to ignore the 10 million albums he has sold worldwide, but as validating as these accomplishments are, they don’t drive or define him. The secret to Will’s longevity and colourful career lies in his artistic instinct and connection with his audience.
