It’s with a run of solo shows around the country this December that legendary UK singer-songwriter Joan Armatrading will say farewell to fans.

After 42 years of touring, the Grammy and Brit award nominee has booked one last world tour to run through hits from her 20 acclaimed albums.

Of her final run of shows 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.”
