About this event
Mica Paris, M.B.E. is the queen of British Soul and one of Britain’s most versatile and beloved entertainers: a major label recording artist; West End theatre & television actress; best-selling author and BBC broadcaster, all of which have earned her the highest of accolades… In 2003, the music industry honoured her with the Gold Badge Award at the Ivors Academy for her special contribution to British entertainment. In 2004, she was then named in the Top 10 of the 100 Greatest Black Britons, an exclusive list compiled to celebrate the achievements and contributions made by the British Black community over the centuries. Ultimately, in 2020, Paris was then appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (M.B.E.), by Queen Elizabeth II, in the Birthday Honours List for her services to music, entertainment and charity. But to many she is best known by another title: the original, pre-eminent Queen of British soul.

If this is your kind of night, these are other ways in: a collection this venue belongs to, traditions it works in, and similar music still playing in London this week.
This venue’s world
This venue sits in the collection, not this one title.
Traditions this room works in
Tags on the venue. Other London rooms carry the same lineage. Not a claim that this film invented the tradition.
Also playing this week
Same kind of night (music) in London. Spread across the week, not a ranking.
A different kind of night
Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
