Beverley Craven: Are You Sitting Comfortably…?
SAT 9th NOV
Performing all her hits from the 90’s including Promise Me, Holding On, Woman to Woman, Memories & Love Scenes, Beverley Craven is back on the road, playing just a handful of small & intimate venues “They’re far better suited to the confessional style of my new songs…” she says, “It’s like I’ve invited the audience back to my place!” Once again with a paired down acoustic line up and stripped back production, she sings candidly about her experience of surviving breast cancer, her recent divorce and current affairs (not the political kind…) This is a show filled with nostalgia, unapologetically designed to make you laugh, cry and then buy her autobiography Truth Be Told that’s been 12 years in the making!
