Joan Armatrading’s 50-year music career being marked with new live album

By editorial board on October 22, 2022

The 71-year-old’s ‘Live at Asylum Chapel’ is out November 18 on BMG after the BBC recently honoured the singer with a screening of the show

Joan said: “Fifty years is a long time but for me it’s flown by and I still get the same thrill from writing songs as when I started.

“This live album is a great way to look back and also bring my story right up to date by including songs from the latest album. I’m really happy that so many people still want to listen to them and sing along.”

Joan’s concert from south London’s Asylum Chapel featured some of her most famous songs including ‘Drop the Pilot’, ‘The Weakness in Me’, ‘Me Myself I’ and ‘Willow’.

Songs from her latest Top 10 studio album ‘Consequences’ also got their live debut, such as ‘Natural Rhythm’, ‘Consequences’, ‘Already There’, ‘Better Life’, ‘Glorious Madness’ and ‘To Anyone Who Will Listen’.

The album features Joan’s live band – Jennifer Maidman on bass, Paul Stewart (drums), Alex Lee Richards (keyboards) and Jamie Anderson (saxophone.)

Arriving on her own to join her parents in Birmingham from St Kitts aged seven, Joan taught herself to play piano and guitar before becoming Britain’s first female singer songwriter to gain international success.

She has produced and played every instrument on her records since 2003.
