LEGENDARY singer songwriter Joan Armatrading is set to appear at The Muni in Colne on Saturday, September 27 as part of her first ever solo world tour.

Despite a career of 42 years and extensive touring, Joan Armatrading has never done a solo world tour.

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