Gabrielle rose to fame in 1993 with her distinctive soulful voice. Her debut single Dreams topped the UK charts and earned her a Brit Award for Best British Breakthrough Act. As well as two Brit Awards, Gabrielle has also won a Black Music Award, Ivor Novello Award and two MOBO Awards.
She was one of the headline acts at A Perfect Day at Powderham Castle last summer. She is performing at Plymouth Pavilions on October 7.
Joining Gabrielle will be Soul II Soul, founded by Jazzy B. They rose to prominence in the late 1980s and early 1990s with their blend of soul, R’n’B and hip-hop, and are best known for their hit singles Keep on Movin’ and Back to Life.
Supporting the line-up are British soul group The Real Thing, who formed in the 1970s and whose hits include You to Me Are Everything, Can’t Get By Without You and Can You Feel the Force?
