Wayne Hernandez is one of those fantastic singers who has been using his considerable talents for many years to make others sound good. Hugely successful within the music business he has worked with Tina Turner, Tori Amos, Blur, Grover Washington, Roberta Flack, Madonna and Rag'n'Bone Man. He has also toured extensively with Kool and the Gang, Regina Bell and most recently Billy Ocean, and is one of the singers with the band Gorillaz (oh, that guy!). Of Afro-Cuban heritage, Wayne is a long-time member of the London Community Gospel Choir and more recently the Kingdom Choir, who took the world by storm after performing at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. In addition, Wayne resided in New York for a number of years and describes his music as “…a living fusion of music styles from the Black music scene”. Also a well-established songwriter and producer, this multi-talented artist delivers a simply brilliant set of powerful groove music with an impressive eight-piece band of hand-picked musicians, including guitar, sax and backing vocals. “...it was clear that Wayne had a very special talent, his voice, it was simply breathtaking” Livemusic.fm **World Cup Final** We are considering showing the Final on our large (75”) TV screen. If we do then Wayne will perform his first set from 7:00pm, we will then show the match and Wayne will perform his second set after it finishes. If England does reach the final, the last set could go on for a while! Please check the Club for details nearer the time. Thanks.
Not the same tradition as the lineage above — a genuinely different thread to pull, if you want one.
