Aretha Franklin by Vanessa Haynes

Event information

Table reservations from 6pm | Live Music: 9pm

“Vanessa Haynes’ voice is nothing short of mesmerizing—soulful, powerful, and deeply moving. A standout talent in her own right.” – UK Soul Review

Vanessa Haynes, celebrated vocalist of the globally renowned British funk band Incognito, takes the Boisdale stage to honour the legendary Aretha Franklin. With a career spanning collaborations with Van Morrison, Chaka Khan and other musical icons, Vanessa is regarded as one of the most powerful voices in contemporary British soul. Her remarkable talent and passion bring to life Aretha’s most iconic songs, from “Respect” to “(You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman.” With her deep gospely tones, it's easy to hear why the Evening Standard recently dubbed her a 'soulful powerhouse'. We could not have put it any better ourselves. This intimate performance showcases the essence of the Queen of Soul in an evening of masterful artistry and timeless music.
