Soul star Gabrielle to play free concert in South Shields' Bents Park

Soulful singer-songwriter Gabrielle will headline a free outdoor concert in South Shields.

The Londoner, who shot to fame in the early 1990s with breakout hit, Dreams will entertain crowds on Sunday, August 4. The show will be the final Bents Park show in this summer's series of free Sunday concerts in South Shields.

The star has sold more than five million albums since then and enjoyed a string of chart successes in a career spanning more than 25 years, most recently celebrating a top ten album with her 2018 release, Under My Skin.

“The North East audiences are always up for a great time and I’m really looking forward to being back in the region,” said Gabrielle.

“I’ve heard the concerts have a real festival feel to them and it’s sure to be a fantastic day.”
