Few voices in British soul music carry the history, heart, and sheer emotional weight of P.P. Arnold. This April, the legendary “First Lady of Immediate Records” brings that unmistakable voice to Bedford Esquires for a full band experience — a night that promises not just music, but memories.
From her early days as an Ikette with Ike & Tina Turner, to her era-defining solo hits like The First Cut Is the Deepest and Angel of the Morning, to collaborations with everyone from the Small Faces and the Rolling Stones to Primal Scream and Ocean Colour Scene, Arnold’s story is woven into the fabric of modern music. And on this special evening, she’ll be telling it in her own words.
Her autobiography Soul Survivor released in 2022 is one of musical highs, personal lows and extraordinary endurance. Attending a P.P. Arnold show promises an evening filled with soulful music, heartfelt performances, and a showcase of her enduring talent and charisma. Whether performing in intimate venues or larger halls, P.P. Arnold creates a warm and engaging atmosphere, connecting deeply with her audience as she sings many of her ‘classic’ recordings like The First Cut Is The Deepest, Angel Of The Morning and more while sharing many of her remarkable adventures.
For long-time fans, it’s a chance to see a true icon up close. For newcomers, it’s an introduction to one of the most powerful and resilient voices in soul. For everyone, it’s a night of warmth, honesty, and timeless music.
A rare opportunity to spend an evening with a genuine legend — not to be missed.
