We are delighted to be welcoming the hugely popular Kyla Brox back to the club this evening, backed by her full band. Kyla Brox can be tender, urgent and gritty: she blurs the distinction between pleasure and pain like the soul greats of old.

To listen to her versions of ‘Feelin’ Good’ and ‘At Last’ is to understand how completely she has absorbed the related forms of soul and blues. Respectively associated with Nina Simone and Etta James, they remind that strong women are a vital part of Afro-American and Lancashire culture.

Kyla balances extremes of tenderness and strength like no other singer of her generation, and belts out the blues like a Janis Joplin who has come through. And then there’s her transposition of Deep Southern Soul to northern climes. She sings in her native accent, because, for Kyla, there is no separation between life and art. That “does mytuuch make you quiver?” is to be cherished. Kyla is triumphantly a deep Lancashire diva.

Tonight's performance will evoke a combination of them all. Fellow musician and songwriting partner Danny Blomeley, and his virtuoso guitar-work, are joined by a full band for this special gig.
