SINGER-SONGWRITER Joan Armatrading has won more awards than you've had hot dinners. Never one to rest on her laurels, Joan will be performing her latest tour at the Lighthouse Poole tonight.

Joan is set to deliver a mix of old favourites plus brand new songs to fall in love with. Classics such as Love and Affection, Willow, Drop The Pilot and Me, Myself I will sit next to new material like Into The Blues and This Charming Life.

During her long and illustrious career Joan has dabbled in all musical genres, pop, blues, folk, reggae, and jazz. The 2012 tour will see Joan performing Love and Affection amongst many other firm favourites, and also showcase songs from her brand new album.

Joan is recognised as one of the world's leading singer, songwriter and guitarists, so this is a rare chance to see one of the most truly gifted performers in action.

She is also attending a Q&A with students at the Academy of Contemporary Music this afternoon. We'll be there, so come back later for video and a full report!
