Following the release last year of a greatest hits collection, she will be joined by her band to perform the songs that made her one of the UK’s most successful singers, including Lilac Wine, Fool If You Think It’s Over and her signature hit Pearl’s A Singer.

Brooks’ career stared in 1960 and she has previously supported The Beatles, The Small Faces and The Animals as well as co-fronting Vinegar Joe alongside Robert Palmer. Her 1977 album Two Days Away saw her solo career take off. Her 1981 album Pearls was in the charts for 79 weeks and sold more than half a million copies.
