Can you feel the soul? That unmistakable fire? That spine-tingling, gospel-soaked umph that only Aretha could deliver? Well, hold on to your hats, because Vanessa Haynes is about to blow the roof off Boisdale and she's bringing the full force of soul with her.

Vanessa is the dynamite vocalist behind the mic for Incognito, the iconic British funk collective that's been tearing up stages worldwide for decades. A vocal force of nature, she’s sung alongside Van Morrison, brought the house down with Chaka Khan and now she’s stepping into the divine shoes of Ms. Franklin herself, not to impersonate, but to channel that sacred soul spirit and make it sing in the here and now.

From the first blast of “Respect” to the aching tenderness of “I Say A Little Prayer”, Vanessa takes you on a musical journey that electrifies Aretha's legacy. With a voice that could part the Thames and a band that grooves tighter than your nan's Sunday roast schedule, this night is raw and pure soul theatre.

This is the kind of gig where goosebumps are guaranteed and every note carries the weight of a thousand smoky jazz bars and gospel churches rolled into one.

You’ve heard Aretha. Now feel herthrough the voice of one of Britain’s finest.
